               Fall

                                                   I was once a seed

                                        plundering down to the ground

                                          my heart and soul is the soil

                                         My towering height is my life

                                            my leaves are my children

                                   they die once a year when I fall asleep

                                             but, I grow them again

                                                You, you were kind

                                                   you let me be

                               I watched you below as you grew children

                        your home, which was made out of millions of me

                              comforts and protects your heart and soul

                                                     Your children,

                                  who never die once a year, are your life

                             The wrinkles on your face express your age

                               You could have seen mine if you noticed

                                             like the seed I once was

                                                      I fell again

                                   plundering hard onto my heart and soul

                                                  my life cut into bits

                                       to comfort your heart and soul

                                                to protect your life

                                                         falling

                                                         is what

                                                           I do

                                                    but I didn't mind

                                                        when i fell

                                                          for you
