 "Happy birthday, my son."

"If only I could've help you." - Iroh

 Leaves from the vine

 Falling so slow

Like fragile, tiny shells 

Drifting in the foam.

 Little soldier boy 

Comes marching home 

Brave soldier boy 

Comes marching home

 Ash in the snow 

Falling so slow 

Like fragile, broken hearts 

With no place to go. 

Little soldier boy 

Comes marching home 

Brave soldier boy

 Comes marching home 

 He thought he knew 

What he was fighting for, 

But the sight of blood 

Made him question war. 

Poor soldier boy 

Cold and alone, 

Bombs fall like rain,

 He's all alone. 

They're all alone. 

 Those leaves did grow 

From branches overgrown 

Drifting slowly down 

Resting in the snow. 

Little soldier boy 

Taken from home

 Forced to fight a war 

That is not his own.

 Leaves from the vine 

Changing so slow

 Like empty, fallen souls 

Looking for a home.

 Little soldier boy 

Thought that he could soar 

Brave soldier boy 

Died in their war
