lyrics

As
summer comes to a close
I can’t help but notice
that the leaves
weren’t as green as they used to be
but then there’s me
Most of mine are dead and gone
dead and gone

but that’s alright 
with me
I’ll watch them float 
off slowly

And when I’m bare
I’ll be home those who fly
and keep a watchful eye
until the sky
opens up
old wind whispers in my ear
and I know I’m finished here
finished here

I will fall
willingly
and I’ll return to the earth
fulfilling the

endless cycle of

living and dying
laughing and crying
helping and hurting my peers
I won’t shed a single tear

But they want to take that away
Oh, the words that I wish I could say

I’ve made up my mind that people are maligned and I stand resolute
I’ll stick to my roots as they start up their saws and I’ll give one final salute
As I’m martyred and murdered by force and by choice

I’ll run from no one
though it’s never been done
and I don’t even have a voice
or a say in this

I still fall willingly
and I’ll return to the earth, fulfilling the
endless cycle of
living and dying
laughing and crying and
helping and hurting my peers

I’ll shed just a couple tears
