Spinning Leaf - Lyrics - Jacob's Dream

Jacob's Dream is an American Christian power metal band originally based in Columbus, Ohio, that formed in the mid-1990s under the name of Iron Angel. Their first three full-length releases were released on the Metal Blade Records label.

A slave to time as I look back on my life A path that can lead to insanity All the years that I leave behind me All means nothing at the front of the gate I look to the sky I raise my head Pondering the valor of the dead The meaning of life? Who holds the key? Can I fathoms things I cannot see? Born into sorrow, who am I ? Lost in the silence of the mystery So many questions How can I see to unlock the paradox? [Chorus:] Life is like a spinning leaf Rise and fall with our valor and grief Life is like a spinning leaf Your world can be broken so easily I question the lies that I've been taught Can't hold onto this frail life I once sought The journey begins I'm searching for light The evidence of truth to give me sight Reborn in fire Flesh mortified Bringing death to the agony This life is now but we must look to eternity [Repeat Chorus] Enslaved by my flesh as I search for the truth within myself To see the things that I cannot see I pray for your wisdom and your guidance because I need your knowledge to see I give you my life the one who made me I hold you to my soul [Repeat Chorus]
