The aspen trees
Their golden leaves
All have a song to sing
And I can’t see
Any reason for them to lie
About what the end will bring
What they believe I’d like to know
I want to live their story
'Cause my heart can hear their humble glow
Telling me not to be afraid of letting go
And every leaf that falls will make them grow
When they turn to gold
When they turn to gold
Their autumn leaves
Are telling me
That glory is not their own
And if you lay it down
One day it’s coming back around
After the winter snow
What they believe I’d like to know
I want to live their story
'Cause my heart can hear their humble glow
Telling me not to be afraid of letting go
And every leaf that falls will make them grow
When they turn to gold
When they turn to gold
Come and see the nature of true royalty
The nature of true royalty
It’s not having a golden crown
It’s learning to lay it down
Learning not to be afraid of letting go
And everything we give will only grow
When we turn to gold (when we turn to gold)
When we turn to gold
When we turn to gold
