This Show of Hands song expresses my view on Peak Oil rather well. I’m listening to it a lot at the moment.

I promise you warm nights
I promise you long days
I promise you summer twilight
I promise you soft waves
But first we must bear
The winter
I promise you blue skies
I promise you the rolling moors
I promise you barefoot sunrise
I promise you open doors
But first we must bear
The winter
The rain and the gales
And the frost and the hail
The hard biting nails
Of winter
I promise you light returning
I promise you hope reborn
I promise you gentle mornings
I promise you new dawn
But first we must bear
The winter
I promise you
things will change
maybe not today but one day
things will change
for the better
but it might be a long winter
maybe
but one day I promise you, I promise you
it can’t last forever
ah but first
we must bear
the winter
UPDATE: just found this version on youtube; I think it’s using the album version, but I only have it on their live album
