Today the leaves change
The roots of a tree die  
Today the sky opens up and buckets of rain fall healing the world of thirst
My mouth is dry

Today there is an echo
The house is nearly empty
Today there is no home
The house is nearly empty
Today there is no silence
The sound of a heart aches

Today there are no nightmares
There are only crushed dreams
Today the trees fall
Obstacles and challenges await

Today there is an echo
The house is nearly empty
Today there is no home
The house is nearly empty
Today there is no silence
The sound of a heart aches

Today it is time to plant new trees, drink the water, strengthen the heart, and fight obstacles, fill the house with joy, find some comfort, chase dreams, and create a new home
