A little runnel's found the curb
And carries leaves along
The rain has made a river run
Along the lane's low side
And every maple leaf that fell
Is going for a ride
A red one, then a golden one
Go sailing past the gate
Let the runnel carry them
Down the rainy street
Like a tree that's planted by the water
Rooted, calm, complete
The little lamb is at the glass
And follows every leaf
It thinks that each one waves goodbye
And that's its whole belief
The maples stand and let them go
And don't seem any less
Let the runnel carry them
Down the rainy street
Like a tree that's planted by the water
Rooted, calm, complete
Like a tree beside the streams of water
Whose leaf will never fade
The psalm says of the one who rests
In Him, and isn't afraid
Mmm... mmm... mmm
Let the runnel carry them
Down the rainy street
Like a tree that's planted by the water
Rooted, calm, complete
Let the runnel carry them
Down the rainy street
Like a tree that's planted by the water
Rooted, calm, complete
A little runnel's found the curb
And I am rooted here
