it was a season of transition, it was a season of true loss

and the eternal contradiction between the spring and winters frost

it was the time before renewal, you can't remember what it's worth.

there was denial and refusal, and finally rebirth.

let the tree fall, let the river flow, and when the time comes...

you change the things you have the strength to. accept whatever you cannot

and then you pray to know the difference and you give it all you've got

and when the wheel has come full circle around these days and nights sublime

then it would serve us to remember all things must come and go in time, so

let the tree fall, let the river flow, and when the time comes...you just let go

you cannot change a raging river, or the tides that ebb and flow

but if you reach down deep inside your heart you'll find the strength to just let go

and let the tree fall...

it wasn't just the things she taught me, it was the way her life was lived

it was the sacred joy she carried into everything she did

and i remember what she told me about these seasons that we live

she said that love is all that matters and in the end you must forgive

and let the tree fall, let the river flow and when the time comes, you just let go
