Dry Leaf
I compare the life of a man without God
To a dry leaf fallen on the ground
That goes wherever the wind takes
Everything is sadness, everything is loneliness
His life is sad, so full of pain
His days troubled, without consolation
This is the life of a man without God
It's a dry leaf fallen on the ground!
It's a dry leaf fallen on the ground
That goes wherever the wind takes
This is the life of a man without God
Poor, miserable, only thinks of sin!
This is the life of a man without God
Poor, miserable, only thinks of sin!
I was lost in the world
I had no peace, no consolation
Full of problems, so discouraged
My life gloomy, sad loneliness
Today I am a believer, no longer adrift
I have my path that leads to Zion
So I go singing, longing for heaven
I am no longer a fallen leaf on the ground
It's a dry leaf fallen on the ground
That goes wherever the wind takes
This is the life of a man without God
Poor, miserable, only thinks of sin!
This is the life of a man without God
Poor, miserable, only thinks of sin!
