**(Verse 1)** Sweetness was a sugar high A taste we knew by heart The only peace we'd ever find Before the fall apart **(Verse 2)** Then sorrow made its home in me A shadow, constant, deep A familiar, aching company It swore it wouldn't leave **(Chorus)** Oh, we spin on Like leaves are thrown Nothing stays for long This smile, this tear Are temporary here Even pain will disappear It's written in the song We all move along **(Chorus)** Now a hopeful light My heart blooms in the night Through the turning years Of joy and of fears Seasons of the soul We have no control But to embrace the change The only constant truth The ending of our youth Is that nothing remains But this gentle, slow release This bittersweet, fleeting peace.
