The leaf floats on the stream
The stream runs over pebbles
Pebbles from the mountain
The leaf floats on the stream
The leaf floats on the stream

Worry takes a pebble
Takes it from the mountain
Lends a mountain’s shadow
Lends a mountain’s weight

The leaf floats on the stream
The stream runs over pebbles
Pebbles from the mountain
The leaf floats on the stream
The leaf floats on the stream

I sail on the leaf
Younger than the mayfly
Older than the mountain
Lighter every morning

The leaf floats on the stream
The stream runs over pebbles
Pebbles from the mountain
The leaf floats on the stream
The leaf floats on the stream
The leaf floats on the stream
The stream runs over pebbles
Pebbles from the mountain
The leaf floats on the stream
The leaf floats on the stream
