Autumn

You were leading us into autumn You, the dream of the hopeful You were here to stay And you'll soon see that yours was the strong heart From youth to open arms Embrace all the change that was coming And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday We were only children The way forward, through And all we thought we knew You were dreamed by love into the world Truth For the last time I shed my skin and breathe in the colour And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday We were only human The way forward, through And all we thought we knew When you You were leading us into autumn Ever forward You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward Before the change is through Change is coming When all I am is you Leading time to river's toil As the hollow takes shape Leading myth to mother soil Being made and unmade Oh and change has always been this way Change has always been this way As light is ever sent over rubble to reign The all will always end where the nothingness stays On and change was always on its way Change has always been this way (Change, the mother) Nothing falls into stillness Time is the motion (Change, the mother) In the sum of our silence Time waits for no one So who am I to stay the colours as they change? To call for silence in my pride And bring stillness to sunrise? You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward Before the change is through Change is coming When all I am is you You were leading us into autumn Ever forward You You were leading us into autumn Ever forward And I will wait ahead Change is coming To stand and mark the way
