See the shadows you leave behind As your final share of time Draws nearer Who is standing by your side Grieving as you cling to life Growing weaker
So all these years come and pass us by Fallen leaves that feed the earth From which another tree grows From seeds we have sown And none of us knows when the cycle will end
See the light you leave behind As your final share of time Draws nearer see their faces by your side They bid farewell to a precious life Growing weaker
So all these years come and pass us by Fallen dead leaves feed the earth From which no other trees grow though seeds have been sown The living must know now The cycle has ended
