Solid and Strong

Mama, it is raining leaves,
It’s snowing leaves, they’re falling down
I love the way she says that
And I love this part of town
I love being surrounded by so many kinds of trees
October on the west side reminds me of fall back east
Except I don’t feel like falling for the feeling that I’ve gotta fall,
I feel like standing tall and getting all of my ducks in a row
I’m sure sometimes I’ll waver but I’ll savor good intentions
I know that progress, not perfection, is the only way to go
If I want to grow
Gotta prove my soul
Shed dead leaves
‘til I am wet and naked, cold and rainy,
So there’s room for those
Things I want to grow
that are beautiful and amazing
The days that seem the most dreary
Are perfect for being creative and cozy
As long as we sing,
until the spring,
this winter can be the most magical thing
Our trunks will be
Solid and strong
Even after
the leaves are all gone
Our trunks will be
Solid and strong
Even after
the leaves are all gone
Mama, it is raining leaves,
It’s snowing leaves, they’re falling down
I love the way she says that
And I love this part of town
Mama, it is raining leaves,
It’s snowing leaves, they’re falling down
I love the way she says that
And I love this part of town
