{Verse 1}
There’s lots of people losing their leaves
People dead but still walking
You were one of them but I don’t know how
Your awareness stepped in
{Chorus}
Golden leaves hanging loose
Killer thieves high on a noose
Some of us losers in this living dream
But you found your way
You’re forever green
{Verse 2}
Places of learning committing manslaughter
All with a desire
To make everyone the same
Well, let them play their games
{Chorus}
Golden leaves hanging loose
Killer thieves high on a noose
Some of us losers in this living dream
But you found your way
You’re forever green
{Verse 3}
Look to the light ‘cause you’re wasting your time
Looking at your shadow shaking
Knowing truth and being honest seems to be a crime
But they spend all of their lives faking
{Chorus}
Golden leaves hanging loose
Killer thieves high on a noose
Some of us losers in this living dream
But you found your way
You’re forever green
You’re forever green
You’re forever green
You’re forever green
