I was born on a rock where the stars didn't shine,
C F C
Now I soar like a leaf on the wind,
C F
The clouds were polluted, the sea filled with brine,
C F C
Now I soar like a leaf on the wind,
Dm С
I swore to myself that above it I'd rise,
Dm C G
Sail over the mountains and into the skies,
C F C
To see the stars brighter than man can devise,
C F C F C
I'd soar like a leaf on the wind.
When governments quarreled, I was called to the fight,
To soar like a leaf on the wind,
I offered my wings to the side I thought right,
To soar like a leaf on the wind,
Now after two sorties, my boat ran aground,
My captors with laurels of vict'ry were crowned,
When the killing was over, my freedom I found,
To soar like a leaf on the wind.
I wandered the whole 'verse, I went where I'd please,
Adrift like a leaf on the wind,
I spent a whole month trying to juggle geese,
Adrift like a leaf on the wind,
But wherever I went, there was one thing I'd lack,
The stars, they were calling for me to come back,
Farewell to the land and Ni-Hao to the black!
Once more I'm a leaf on the wind.
The Renshaw Boys begged me; Tanaka he raved,
To soar like a leaf on the wind,
Serenity's crew had the one thing I craved,
As I soared like a leaf on the wind,
The moons and the planets each have their own charms,
But the heavens I sought were in Zoe's strong arms,
A warrior, a Goddess, to keep me from harm,
As I soar like a leaf on the wind.
Now sometimes I carry a gun when I roam,
Though I soar like a leaf on the wind,
With puppets and dinosaurs, I'm much more at home,
As I soar like a leaf on the wind,
Laughter was always my ally in life,
And humor has always deflected my strife,
It got me through torture, it won me my wife,
And I soar like a leaf on the wind.
It ain't easy to pilot a ship that can't turn,
But I'll soar like a leaf on the wind,
Can't pull crazy Ivans, can't go for hard burn,
But I'll soar like a leaf on the wind,
Now, once you've made sure that the signal gets through,
There's one final thing that I want you to do,
Put me where I'll see stars, so that I can see you,
And I'll soar like a leaf on the wind.
Put me where I'll see stars, so that I can see you,
And I'll soar like a leaf on the wind.
soar like a leaf on the wind
soar like a leaf on the wind
soar like a leaf on the wind
soar like a leeeeeeaf
on the wind
