Reasonably Understood
The leaves are down and now are dead.
What once was green, now brownish red.
The spirit lives beyond the season.
Even beyond a world of treason.
It's only natural to live and die.
But in between, we still must try.
To find a reason to carry on.
To make a difference before we're gone.
When promises of childhood dreams.
Get lost inside the clouds moon beams.
You're never old enough to say.
It doesn't matter, it's just grey.
It's time now for your soul to soar.
To understand that's what it's for.
Recall a time when innocence won.
Now that we've seen the setting sun.
