[Intro]
[Soft beat starts, sound of ice crystals cracking and melting]
[Pause]
Take off the hood.
Stop looking at the ground.
I know it’s cold right now... but just listen.
The ice is breaking.
[Verse 1]
Grey skies above, breath freezing in the air,
Searching for warmth, but there’s only winter’s glare.
Everything feels frozen, like it’s never gonna move,
Like this cold rain is the only thing you’ve got to prove.
You wanna hide away, just disappear from the sight,
Thinking you’ll never find the exit from this dark night.
But look at the trees, standing naked and bare,
They know the secret: spring is already there.
[Chorus]
'Cause after the frost comes the awakening,
After the silence, your laughter is returning.
Spring is waiting just beyond the line,
A little light that makes the cold resign.
Don't hide your head, just take a step or two,
Life is just about to knock on the door for you.
[Verse 2]
Soon you’ll smell the flowers, green breaking through the dust,
And that heavy weight on your shoulders starts to rust.
Then comes the summer, the heat upon your skin,
Everything you’ve sown is where the harvest begins.
For every lock a key, for every wall a door,
Life isn't a straight line, it’s a rhythm at the core.
Today you’re shivering, tomorrow you’ll dance in the light,
Don't you ever lose that sparkle in your eyes tonight.
[Bridge]
[Emotional build-up, more instruments coming in]
Nothing lasts forever, not the pain, not the night.
You’re carved from harder wood than you thought, alright?
The sun doesn’t take a break, it’s just getting ready,
Hear the rhythm? That’s life – stay steady.
[Chorus]
'Cause after the frost comes the awakening,
After the silence, your laughter is returning.
Spring is waiting just beyond the line,
A little light that makes the cold resign.
Don't hide your head, just take a step or two,
Life is just about to knock on the door for you.
[Outro]
[Music fades slowly, sound of birds and warm wind]
Keep the headphones on.
Listen to the beat of your own hope.
It's getting warm, for sure.
