The Last Golden Leaf

Verse 1
0:24
In a valley wrapped in morning mist,
0:24
Lived a town where hearts were kissed.
0:30
Rivers ran clear, the trees gave shade,
0:36
And love was the treasure they all had made.
0:42
Verse 2
0:51
Up on the hills, a kingdom of stone,
0:51
Heard of the wealth in a land unknown.
0:57
Greed took root in their hardened hearts,
1:03
They marched to the valley to tear it apart.
1:08
Chorus
1:14
But the leaf turned gold in the morning sun,
1:14
Said, “Greed will destroy everyone.”
1:20
You can take the gold, you can take the land,
1:26
But love is the treasure that always stands.
1:32
Verse 3
2:02
The townfolk spoke, “There’s nothing to gain,
2:02
The riches you seek bring only pain.
2:08
The gold you imagine will vanish in air,
2:14
All that is left is love to share.”
2:20
Verse 4
2:26
The soldiers pressed on with swords held high,
2:26
Ignoring the truth, believing the lie.
2:31
They reached the valley, took all they could,
2:37
But the trees gave one last gift, misunderstood.
2:43
Chorus
2:49
And the leaf turned gold in the morning sun,
2:49
Said, “Greed will destroy everyone.”
2:55
You can take the gold, you can take the land,
3:01
But love is the treasure that always stands.

Outro
3:24
The kingdom returned home, empty and cold,
3:25
Rich in nothing but stories untold.
3:31
And in that valley, peace stayed strong,
3:37
Love was the treasure that lasted long.
3:43
