I am a tree
I move in the breeze
The seasons may change me
But the future is all I see
Up to the sky
Pale blue and high
Since I lost all my leaves
I want to start anew
To close the door of the past
That’s covered in the morning dew
I know I will flourish
Close the door of the past
Open the one that will perish
