Sound the retreat
So overcome
Drowned in defeat
The enemy has won
A garden of thorns
No beauty to see
The caretaker is worn
No rest or reprieve
But wait - feel the courage come back to your heart
It's never too late to be given a brand new start
You can't see the purpose in it all
You brace yourself to take another fall
But the winds of change bring new seasons
And the colors of Autumn will come
So take heart, O man
You can't lose this fight
Get on your feet again
Day always follows the night
Just wait - feel the courage come back to your heart
It's never too late to be given a brand new start
You can't see the purpose in it all
You brace yourself to take another fall
But the winds of change bring new seasons
And the colors of Autumn will come
The labor is light
Flowers will bloom
Wrongs been made right
The bride gets her groom
The labor is light
Flowers will bloom
Wrongs been made right
The bride gets her groom
As you wait - feel the courage come back to your heart
It's never too late to be given a brand new start
You wait - feel the courage come back to your heart
It's never too late to be given a brand new start
You can't see the purpose in it all
You brace yourself to take another fall
But the winds of change bring new seasons
And the colors of Autumn will come
All the colors of Autumn will come
