Jacobs Dream - Spinning Leaf lyrics

rate me

slave to time as I look back on my life

A path that can lead to insanity

All the years that I leave behind me

All means nothing at the front of the gate

I look to the sky

I raise my head

Pondering the valor of the dead

The meaning of life? Who holds the key?

Can I fathoms things I cannot see?

Born into sorrow, who am I?

Lost in the silence of the mystery

So many questions

How can I see to unlock the paradox?

(Chorus)

Life is like a spinning leaf

Rise and fall with our valor and grief

Life is like a spinning leaf

Your world can be broken so easily

I question the lies that I've been taught

Can't hold onto this frail life I once sought

The journey begins I'm searching for light

The evidence of truth to give me sight

Reborn in fire

Flesh mortified

Bringing death to the agony

This life is now but we must look to eternity

(Repeat Chorus)

Enslaved by my flesh as I search for the truth within myself

To see the things that I cannot see

I pray for your wisdom and your guidance because I need your knowledge to see

I give you my life the one who made me

I hold you to my soul

(Repeat Chorus)
