Every leaf tells a heartbreaking story
Every leaf gets swept away
Every leaf crumples
Until it is nothing but dust
Is that my story?
Am I bound to be forgotten
Like that one leaf that flew in my hair
On the one day is September
Am I bound to fly away
Will anyone pull me back to reality
Or will I keep going
Higher and higher
Till I crumple
Will I be that one leaf
That doesn't get a color
Or will I be a bright red
Will I be the leaf that gets saved for later
That is kept safe
Will I fly but have someone
Ready to pull me back to earth
Will I stay fresh
Stay bright
Stay young
Will I stay me
