brown leaf

brown leaf
why did you change
when all around you're brethren are still green

brown leaf
was it the pain
some truth you found...
you turned too soon it seems

a million leaves
for me to see
still i see
only you

wondering why
wondering why
what fate has given others
to you has been denied

brown leaf
please feel no fear
though you are to fall
the earth is sweet and soft

brown leaf
another year
it will come to you
let hope be never lost
