May the leaves fall
And their beauty die
But the roots
Will keep on growing
And their colours
Will shine again
I've been standing for a lifetime
Have been patient and tense
Have seen more than one can see
And felt more than one can feel
May the leaves fall...
May the leaves fall
And their beauty die
But the roots
Will keep on growing
And their colours
Will shine again
Although I seem to be lonely
I'm surrounded by thousands of souls
They're coming closer
But my walls will not be broken
I can do nothing but follow
May the leaves fall
And their beauty die
But the roots
Will keep on growing
And their colours
Will shine again
Cannot bear it any longer
Mother earth leads the way
Feeling detached
My last breath ends my sorrow
May the leaves fall
And their beauty die
But the roots
Will keep on growing
And their colours
Will shine again
