Verse 1 I asked the leaf why tears were falling down She whispered soft, “One day I won’t be around” “The wind will take me far from where I grew And every step away will feel like losing you” Verse 2 I told her, “Freedom waits beyond the sky” But she just trembled gently with a sigh “My freedom isn’t gentle, it’s a storm It tears my edges, steals the life that keeps me warm” Pre‑Chorus “And when I fall, I’ll fade into the ground No one will hear the quiet of my final sound” Chorus “Oh, I will turn to yellow, I will break apart I’ll lose the green that once defined my heart I’ll drift alone where no one sees me cry While the tree keeps dancing, reaching for the sky Never looking down at me Never seeing what I feel inside” Verse 3 I asked the leaf, “Do you regret the climb From tiny bud to reaching for the light?” She said, “I loved the sunlight on my face But love is fragile when you’re easy to replace” Verse 4 “The tree stands tall, untouched by all my fears It never stops to notice all my years I held on tight through every storm and breeze But still I’m just a whisper in its endless leaves” Pre‑Chorus “And when I fall, the world will barely know How long I tried to stay, how hard I fought to grow” Chorus “Oh, I will turn to yellow, I will break apart I’ll lose the green that once defined my heart I’ll drift alone where no one sees me cry While the tree keeps dancing, reaching for the sky Never looking down at me Never seeing what I feel inside” Bridge Maybe freedom isn’t wings Maybe freedom is the pain Maybe falling is the price For every moment that I stayed Maybe loving something tall Means learning how to let it sway Even when it never turns To watch you fade away Soft Chorus (emotional drop) Yes, I will turn to yellow, I will break apart But every tear I shed still carries all my heart I’ll drift alone, but still I’ll whisper through the air That once I loved a tree who never learned to care Final Chorus (full power) Oh, I will turn to yellow, I will break apart But I was beautiful before the fall could start I’ll ride the wind and let the sky decide While the tree keeps dancing, never looking to my side I’ll find my freedom in the places I collide Even if my freedom hurts I’ll face it with my fragile pride
