let the tree fall
it was a season of transition, it was a season of true loss
and the eternal contradiction between the spring and winters frost
it was the time before renewal, you can't remember what it's worth.
there was denial and refusal, and finally rebirth.
let the tree fall, let the river flow, and when the time comes...
you change the things you have the strength to. accept whatever you cannot
and then you pray to know the difference and you give it all you've got
and when the wheel has come full circle around these days and nights sublime
then it would serve us to remember all things must come and go in time, so
let the tree fall, let the river flow, and when the time comes...you just let go
you cannot change a raging river, or the tides that ebb and flow
but if you reach down deep inside your heart you'll find the strength to just let go
and let the tree fall...
it wasn't just the things she taught me, it was the way her life was lived
it was the sacred joy she carried into everything she did
and i remember what she told me about these seasons that we live
she said that love is all that matters and in the end you must forgive
and let the tree fall, let the river flow and when the time comes, you just let go
