RISE UP Like a fire the leaves rise swirling like flames The wind catches them like sails at sea The swirl of colour as they leap their final dance The breath of change is upon us all Autumn is here we are approaching the cold Warm our hearts with the rising that nature brings Warm our hearts with the beauty of it all Warm our hearts with what we have already Warm our hearts with the connection to mother nature Warm our hearts and dance with leaves The fire of autumn will die as winter comes Don't wait for what might be Rise up now with the wind Like a phoenix from the ashes One last dance, one last hurrah, one last leap Don't wait for winter...rise up now and dance
