Spreading my wings
To shelter my friends,
I'll bring them safely away.
The star-echo sings,
And the black never ends
Or gives way to the light of the day.
A leaf on the wind
Unhurried and free,
In freedom I float through the air.
My wings are unpinned
To twist through the breeze
And brush away mere earthly cares.
Though I do not fly,
And I cannot see,
My friends, I still hear your call.
These wings cannot die,
This heart always free,
I'm a leaf on the wind, and I . . .
Fall.
