The branches are falling, The city burns, The people are leaving, Yet my body yearns. Is it the fear instilled, That keeps me put, Of what I could be, Of what I was? The wheel turns, The whip is cracked, As a new day rises, Time will tell.

The branches are falling, The city burns, The people are leaving, Yet my body yearns. Is it the fear instilled, That keeps me put, Of what I could be, Of what I was? The wheel turns, The whip is cracked, As a new day rises, Time will tell.
