I've walked through towns that time forgot Chased a dream, and lost a lot But every mile and every scar Taught me who we really are Like leaves on the wind, we turn and fall We rise again, we learn it all Every change, every goodbye Leads us closer to the sky We're just leaves on the wind, drifting by The road ahead is rough and wide But I don't need a place to hide There's peace in letting go of fear And love in every passing year Like leaves on the wind, we turn and fall We rise again, we learn it all Every change, every goodbye Leads us closer to the sky We're just leaves on the wind, drifting by Maybe life's not meant to stay But to move, to fade, to find a way And in the calm, I understand — The wind was never out of hand Like leaves on the wind, we turn and fall We find our truth through it all When the season's done and the light runs thin I'll thank the breeze that took me in We're just leaves on the wind... drifting free again.
