I’ve decided to make everyone cry

🎶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

Those leaves did grow
From branches overgrown
Drifting slowly down
Resting on the loam
Little soldier boy
Taken from home
Forced to fight a war
That’s not his own

Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy says
“Carry me home”
Sleeping soldier boy
Is carried home🎶

The way Katara holds Aang after he is struck down by Azula’s lightning greatly resembles La Pieta, a famous sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus after he is brought down from the crucifix. The best known version is by Michelangelo. This also emphasizes how Aang’s near-fatal injury by Azula and subsequent revival by Katara parallels the Christian story of the world’s savior dying and being resurrected.
