deep in the dark midwinter snow
a doe alone under stars
are too far to give her heart
the warmth it needs

streams under ice and barely seen
the bare-limbed trees sent their seeds
with the hope they sprout from sleep
when the woods are green

but the springtime seems so far away
though the light gets stronger everyday
will it be too long for those who wait?

she cannot see that she's not quite
the only one in the night
waiting for the morning light
to bring the life

but the springtime seems so far away
though the light gets stronger everyday
may it come in time for those who wait
