Rise and Fall

When the leaves fall dead And the seas drown the sky And the sun goes down When fire burns the soul When the eyes turn red And doubt lingers in the mind When drought fills the earth And trees dream of rain And beauty turns to haze When you close your eyes Dream all night Hold your fists high And ask why?! How far can we run? Fall and get back up How high can we jump Leaving gravity behind? Hold your hands high And ask how?! Dive into the blue sky Touch Grace and light your soul Take a walk on the shore Keep your feet on the sand Say hi to the world Take a swim in the ocean Praise this moment
