Lyric

He cast his line on a frozen shore

The silent lake, the wind's faint hum

A distant bell rang once, then more

Its echo lost — to where, to whom?

When meaning hides behind the skies

It's easy then to doubt the light

If I were a swan, with wings so wide

I'd fold them 'round your fear inside

No words to speak, no need to run

Just silent warmth beneath the sun

A fragile form lay in the snow

Too weak to fly, too cold to flee

He reached with care, but it said "no"

With eyes that longed for empathy

Kindness can’t break every wall

But pain can make us hear the call

If I were a swan, I’d show the way

To quiet peace, to brighter day

A place where fear and frost dissolve

And hearts like yours could still evolve

Then silence spoke — a soft refrain:

"Why do we change through someone’s pain?"

He'd never known that hearts could bend

Or frozen doubts could find their end

He closed his eyes, let go, stood still

And felt the lake begin to heal

Above, the swan took flight once more

Its wings a whisper on the shore
