Another leaf falls
Touches the ground
Thank goodness
It wasn't me

I make sweetness
For the new branch
Like the others next to me
I am not different

I make sweetness
So I don't fall
Like the others next to me
I am not different

My branch takes it
To who knows where
I can not wonder
For I might fall

But even if I am the best
Time is the only reason needed
For you to fall

So why do I keep making sweetness
When I will fall anyways?
But while I wonder
I sense my attachment
To the others
To my branch
To my world
Rip apart

The wind picks me up
And I dance
And I twirl
All through the day
All through the night
I love every moment of it
When I flutter to the ground
To my fate

I wouldn't have done it any later
I wouldn't want anything more
It was perfect

And so I lay here
Until I crumble
My pieces scattered
Throughout the earth

And I love it even more
