1.) October maples delight with colors, that bless the hills and shade late flowers. / November winds come shake those leaves, 'til they fall and blow all away. / We can't pretend that we won't follow creation's example sometime tomorrow. / But there's a spirit-wind that brings no sorrow, and carries to a better place.
2.) We're all psyched up for the millenium, but with hearts so hard and so much undone, / If your lamp's out of oil, you'ld better buy you some, because ready or not, changes come. / There's a point in time that's beckoning, when your numbers are tallied at the reckoning. / Talents are weighed against the fruit you bore, and you're forced to face your final score.
CHORUS.) Round and round and round and round and all around. / Autumn wind's blowing through the crowd. / Don't be caught scoffing now, looking down, and to miss the brand new day. / Round round round round, all around. / Then a flash of light and a trumpet sound. / We're raptured up into that blazing cloud, and to look, on his shining face.
3.) The call of the prophet pounds on like a drum. / The harvest is passed, yes the summer's long gone. / Are we still unsaved when the kingdom's come? Find the answer in the autumn wind. / To some it seems like a far off thing, but autumn's answer came last spring. / On a hill, on a cross, and a tomb and a promise, to all who will believe.
CHORUS.) As above.
BRIDGE.) Remember all those questions? / They say the answer's blowin'. . ./ I say it will be showin' in the autumn wind.
4.) May love keep you warm this winter, til you blossom full there in the spring. / May you rock on fine this summer, praising bright the king of kings. / May the love of God carry you on beyond beyond your wildest dreams, / As you live in hope of the changes, changes that autumn brings.
CHORUS.) As before.
