Should I go it alone and keep my head down When the world turns on me 'Cause I don't like to ask for help I shouldn't need the company It's just that when you are here You take the weight off my shoulders You lift me up, in your hands I can see You are the moon on my ocean The tides don't change without you You are the roots of my tree, But come the fall, I am the leaf And you know it you carry me But without you where would I be? And I will stay strong Take whatever tomorrow brings Come in the eye of the storm, And I will keep my dignity I know that when you are home I have a place safe in your arms You hold me up in your hands I can see You are the moon on my ocean The tides don't change without you You are the roots of my tree, But come the fall, I am the leaf And you know it you carry me But without you where would I be? You are the moon on my ocean You carry me You are the roots of my tree, But come the fall, I am the leaf I am the leaf I am the leaf
