A song of hope in unprecedented times

lyrics

LYRICS

Weather is wild, weeping winds
Autumn slaps my face
Just another November, but this one's so grim
Raging storm's on its way


Manners and morals broke like branches
Leaves are falling down again
Where are we going? Are we blamed or blessed?
We all do our best, but this world seems a mess


And with November mists shadowing everything
I'm longing for spring


Winter spreads itself over the land
Water turns into ice
Fires that smoulder will burn, but we'll get colder
Till our bones will be frozen inside


Nature's playing 'darkness & light'
While we weigh complaints in our paradise
On our way to the longest night
But the dark has never caused so much fright


And there's a silence in my that is dying to sing
I'm longing for spring


In springtime the sun will arrive
All will melt, and all will revive
Rivers wash away all our confusion
The Green is our savior, our soothing solution


And the lambs will jump high
And the birds will sing


In spring


And though we never will know what our future will bring
I'm longing for spring
