Lyric

Seasons change when the time is right

Winter fades into the morning light

But this bitter parting, this frozen soul

Will it ever heal? Will I ever be whole?

No flowers, no fruit, not a single brown leaf

Just a row of bare trees, standing in grief

On the wintry path where the shadows grow long

I’m searching for where I might belong

Then I hear a voice, a simple "Hello"

From a stranger passing through the snow

The warmth of the word, so steady and clear

Is the only comfort that I’ve held near

It soaks into me, deep in my chest

Giving my weary spirit a rest

Walking down the leafless road

Carrying such a heavy load

But the kindness of a human tone

Reminds me I’m not standing here alone

Bit by bit, the ice begins to break

For every gentle step that I take

If I have a dream, I can see the shore

I can find the strength to walk a little more

But the love I endured, and the cruel reply

Left me with nothing but a gray-colored sky

Now the wind starts to blow and the rain starts to fall

On the wintry path, by the old stone wall

But someone stops and they offer their light

A colorful umbrella in the middle of the white

"Shall we walk together?" they say with a smile

Protecting me for just a little while

The colors of spring begin to seep through

In a world that was gray, I’m seeing the blue

The warmth of the gesture, so simple and kind

Is leaving the winter far, far behind

I was standing still, frozen in place

Looking for a sign of a saving grace

But seeing the people, walking side by side

I feel the turning of the lonely tide

The sound of their laughter, the glow in their eyes

Is the softest hello from the morning skies

Walking down the leafless road

Carrying such a heavy load

But the kindness of a human tone

Reminds me I’m not standing here alone

The leafless path

A stranger's umbrella

The color of spring

It’s soaking in

It’s warming me

I can walk again
