I'm a leaf,
Swaying in the wind
Being driven this way and that
Given no rest.

A crumpling, rustling leaf --
That's what I am.
About to dry up and break
At any given moment.

I wish the winds would calm --
then I could rest
Without the fear
Of losing control

'Cos I'm a crumpling,
Rustling leaf
About to dry up and break
At any given moment.

Or the winds could get stronger...
Sweep me far,
Far away
Where life's more beautiful

'Cos I'm a crumpling leaf --
About to break,
Under all this pressure
At any given moment
