lyrics

BRING IT ON

I’m a leaf on the tree
Winters’s coming for me
Every leaf has to fall
And I’m trying to make sense of it all

Winter’s winter
It’s neither bad nor good
Can’t say that winter’s wrong or it’s right
So how should a sane person feel?
And how should we deal
With the dying of the light?

Dylan Thomas said ‘Rage’
Might look good on the page
But I think that he was quite wrong
I know a much wiser song...

‘Who wants to live forever?’
Freddy Mercury wanted to know.
And so, I plan to just motor on
Until my fuel’s gone
And the engine won’t go.

Bring it on! Day by day...
Bring it on! It’s okay...
Bring it on! Day by day...
Bring it on! It’s okay...

I’m a leaf on the tree
Winter’s coming for me
When that wind starts to blow
When should that old leaf let go?

I feel I’d lose face
Getting blown into space
Blown away by the first frosty breath
Or worse, with all dignity gone
Just hanging on
Hanging on for grim death.

These plans might all be in vain
I might get hit by a train
Life’s not determined by us
I might fall under a bus.

Bring it on! Day by day...
Bring it on! It’s okay...
Bring it on! Day by day...
Bring it on! It’s okay...
