The soul of the woods

Autumn, autumn
The heart still beats
From the soul of the woods

Don’t be afraid
Leaves are alive, so bright!
They have the light
From the soul of the woods
When the sun will be far away
And it will become gray here
The leaves will fall
And it will brighten the day
Without shadows, no fear
The land will be clear

Autumn, autumn
The heart still beats
From the soul of the woods

Don’t be so glad, though
There is no reason
Here comes another season
Still hard to go
There are no blank pages
To write, now
It will take dreams and ages
To get why and how

Don’t be sad
It’s not so bad
Feel the smell and all the flavour
Resulting from the labour
Breathe gently
The fresh breeze
Hear the sound of falling leaves
Whispering secrets
They will feed the land

May our thoughtful choices
And peaceful voices
Keep us looking ahead
And proudly standing

Autumn, autumn
The heart still beats
From the soul of the woods
