First In Line
by: James YuillYou're floating on the wind
Look down below they're pouring in
A seed starts its life
Living happy in your skin
Turn to the light, and begin
Germinating in the sun
Your life, has begun
First in line
Your turning in the sun
Autumnal shades have just become
A leaf starts to fall
Drifting slowly to the ground
I hope you can rest, safe and sound
Gently twisting in the heat
Your life, is complete
