Little leaf,
Underneath my shoe,
I long to be, like, you.
With wind you roam,
Never knowing home,
I wish for freedom, too
Sure you'll never see the sea,
But the sea's not all that,
You can float for centuries,
But you'd never come back.
Still the sky's the limit,
There’s nothing to hold you down,
Except the boot of an old man walking,
He can only walk on ground.

Little leaf,
Underneath my shoe,
I long to be, like, you.
With wind you roam,
Never knowing home,
I wish for freedom too
You can walk on man or mountain,
You can float for miles or more,
But if you go near the ocean,
You will never find the shore.
Maybe the sea is for you,
With whale song to listen to,
And the shouts of city are gone,
Except the screams of passing crew.

On an ocean liner,
Feeling finer yesterday.
Battle cruiser,
Who’s the one to say...?
(ch)
Little leaf,
Underneath my shoe,
I long to be, like, you.
With wind you roam,
Never knowing home,
I wish for freedom too
