Why do you say that I'm your autumn leaf?
'Cause I don't think I'm anything you see
I'm not your baby, precious, no satisfaction guaranteed
when I dance to the rhythm of my life and my heartbeat

Don't hold me down when I wanna go on
The path I chose is destination unknown
Release yourself, let your soul be the guide
But if you're too grave, we are of a different stripe

Today I'll stay by you
But tonight I soar and say goodbye

I don't want to touch this ground, because I wanna fly free
It's a cage bird feeling when ou hold me, you see
But you won't be lost nor lonely, if you know the rules I play
Let the world be your lover in this beautiful ballet

Today I'll stay by you
But tonight I soar and say goodbye
Today I'll stay by you
But tonight I soar and say goodbye

Today I'll stay by you
But tonight I soar and say goodbye
Today I'll stay by you
But tonight I soar and say, soar and say goodbye
