Leaves from the Vine
The Track Team Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaves from the vine, falling so slow.
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam.
Little soldier boy, come marching home.
Brave soldier boy, comes marching home.
The Track Team's song Leaves From The Vine is a heartbreaking tribute to the character of Iroh's son, who passed away. The song begins with Iroh, the grieving father, wishing his son a happy birthday and expressing his inability to have helped him in his lifetime. The lyrics then describe the imagery of leaves falling slowly, like tiny shells, and drifting in the foam. This imagery is meant to symbolize the frailty and fleeting nature of life, especially in comparison to the vastness and power of the universe.
The last two lines of the song, "Little soldier boy, come marching home. Brave soldier boy, comes marching home," evoke a sense of both loss and honor. The line "little soldier boy" conveys the idea of Iroh's son as a young and innocent child, while the line "brave soldier boy" implies that he had become a soldier and fought valiantly before his death. The repetition of "comes marching home" suggests that even though his physical body is no longer present, his spirit lives on and is welcomed back home by his father.
Overall, Leaves From The Vine is a moving and poignant song that captures the grief and love of a father for his lost son.

When I first watched this show as a kid I didn’t understand the wait of this scene and just brushed it off. Now I’m crying.
