AUTUMN
We control the world
we use the endless
sky above
and sometimes we believe
Some say we make history
though the air we breathe
is still the same today
And when the land
begins to call
The spirits they dance
The leaves they fall
The change's begun
and what remains
Not even thoughts -
not even names
We can remember
can forget
We can achieve
the highest aims
but we won't change
the rules
we're depending on
Now the freak of nature's
holding up the mirror
to the haughty thoughts
Our brains are filled up
Don't you feel
the earth is trembling
to heal the wounds
we injured
to her heart
The things are easy
as they are
:And when the land begins to call
The spirits they dance
The leaves they fall
The change's begun
and what remains
Not even thoughts -
not even names
And when the time begins to fade
The side-scene changes because
-it's late
We cannot keep -
we drop the ball
For now the land
begins to call:
