You were leading us into autumn
You, the dream of the hopeful
You were here to stay
And you'll soon see that yours was the strong heart
From youth to open arms
Embrace all the change that was coming
And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday
We were only children
The way forward, through
All we thought we knew
You were dreamed by love into the world
Truth
For the last time I shed my skin and breathe in the colour
And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday
We were only human
The way forward, through
All we thought we knew
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
Before the change is through
Change is coming
When all I am is you
Leading time to river's toil as the hollow takes shape
Leading myth to mother soil
Being made and unmade
Change has always been this way
Change has always been this way
As light is ever sent over rubble to reign
The all will always end where the nothingness stays
Change was always on its way
Change has always been this way
Change, the mother
Nothing falls into stillness
Time is the motion
Change, the mother
In the sum of our silence
Time waits for no one
So who am I to stay the colours as they change?
To call for silence in my pride
And bring stillness to sunrise?
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
Before the change is through
Change is coming
When all I am is you
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
And I will wait ahead
Change is coming
To stand and mark the way
