I sat down in the kitchen the other day  Looking out the window on the morning rain  Wondering, trying to figure out the answer to  Why things and stuff don't go the way I want them to  And though I'd give my heart and soul to make it good  Somehow I just don't seem to do the things I should  Like a fallen leaf dancing in the wind  I keep on drifting, whirling through my life  Like a raindrop just fallen from the sky  Gives a moment of beauty before it dries  So I saw the leaves were flying in the wind  And the raindrops falling to the ground were shimmering  And suddenly I saw it all so very clear  My aim in life is really nothing more than theirs  To dance and fly a little while and not to wait  To shine the beauty of my soul before it's late
