I used to think that fall was just the saddest season
Long goodbyes and flowers die for no good reason
I used to think that dreams were meant for holding on to
Never letting them fly or take root
And then I heard it, a whisper in the forest
Kinda quiet
Yeah I heard it, a voice that’s saying let go
And you’ll find it, it said
Be like the leaves and let go
Go like the breeze and breathe hope
Hope like the seeds under the snow
That grow into trees we dream below
Our dreams are the leaves we let go
Life was once like jumping in leaf piles in my yard
Run and leap and fly and fall, the landing never hard
But something’s different now ‘cause when I land I’m stuck
Wish the wind could change and just pick me up
And then I saw it, reflected in my parents eyes
A dream
Yeah I saw it, a dream they made and let go
And it was me, they said
Be like the leaves and let go
Go like the breeze and breathe hope
Hope like the seeds under the snow
That grow into trees we dream below
Our dreams are the leaves we let go
Let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go
All the leaves and all our dreams
They land on the forest floor
Sinking down into the ground
Help it grow a little more
All the leaves and all our dreams
Make something different than before
Sinking down into the ground
Help it grow a little, grow a little, grow a little more
Be like the leaves and let go
Go like the breeze and breathe hope
Hope like the seeds under the snow
That grow into trees we dream below
Our dreams are the leaves we let go
Our dreams are the leaves we let go
Dreams are the leaves we let go
Dreams are the leaves
