Through the Winter

It’s been a long year last year like forever ago
It’s been a hell of year but I don’t feel warm
So much has changed I wonder if I have
It’s been a hell of a year but I don’t want my heart cold like that
Through the winter
Can you keep me warm through the winter
Will you be with me?
I'll be there with you
Even if we’re far away
Know my heart is with you
So much has changed and I wonder if we can
Can we make it through okay
Trying the best we can
There’s a winter in my mind
in my heart
in the air
year round
Can we make it through?
There’s a winter in my eyes
There’s a winter in my words
There’s a winter in the wind
There’s a winter in my world
Can we make through?
I will keep you warm
through the winter

Imagine Opening
03:47

Imagine opening the sweetest gift
Imagine opening your wildest dreams
Imagine opening the world you wish could be there
being free there
Imagine opening a child’s heart
Imagine opening unopened arms
Imagine opening the morning eyes
Snow will melt one day
And the spring will come alive
Would you come alive?
Opening up the sweetest gift
Would make your heart come alive
You are the sweetest gift
You are a gift to the world
Imagine opening the sweetest gift
Imagine opening your wildest dreams
Imagine opening your lovers heart
to finally find your love is all around
love is all around

Sing of Love
02:57

I wanna burn a candle for ghosts of winters past
I wanna pray blessings for those who curse my path
I wanna give a gift that melts the icy heart
I don’t want to be afraid to love
Oh the angels sing of love
The angels sing of love
Have no fear of love,
Have no fear my love
I wanna hold you close, haven’t held you in so long
I wanna share a drink with you and spend the night for fun
I wanna sing a song for those alone and cold
for anyone in need of love
Oh the angels sing of love
The angels sing of love
Have no fear of love,
Have no fear my love
I wanna walk the streets hand in hand and one in heart
I wanna paint the streets colorful with love is love
I wanna be the gift that melts the icy hearts
No one needs to be afraid of love
Oh the angels sing of love
The angels sing of love
Have no fear of love,
Have no fear my love

Frozen for a Moment
05:03
|

Frozen for a moment
You can see it all
Every color every angle
Sparkling unthawed
Frozen for a moment
You can think it all
possible ingenuities
Magnificat
Frozen for a moment
Let yourself let yourself go
Be it all and hold it
Hold it even closer
Frozen for a moment
All fury in your bed
Snow heavy tree branches
Think differently again
Too sorry to show it
Too bashful to own it
Forgotten in a corner
Frozen for a moment
Familiar unfolding
Coal embers glowing
Feel it much closer
Frozen for a moment
The door you didn’t open
The road you haven’t sojourned
Terrified and beautiful
Frozen for a moment
Don’t let it be over
If it’s not over
Familiar unfolding
Frozen for a moment
Windblown snow
traveling home
I know it much closer
Frozen for a moment

Melt My Heart
02:55
|
|||
|
You melt my heart the way you be you
You melt my heart I couldn't be cold with you
You melt my heart the way you show me you
We couldn't be closer than now
You open up my heart snow capped mountains above the clouds
You open up my heart all the stars around us now
You open up my heart the way you know me the way you're glowing
We couldn't be closer than now
You're changing my heart the way you dream of dreaming
You're changing my heart
I've got no fear of staying,
I've got no fear of leaving
I've got no fear of feeling

Snowfall in Reverse
03:33
|
|||
|
Snowfall in reverse ascending back to clouds
falling back to water maybe we can start over
Icicle hanging frozen glowing in the sun
dripping in a puddle maybe we can start over
Who was I before this year and who am I now
and what about tomorrow maybe I can start over
Winter comes and winter goes
Winter needs and let’s go maybe we can start over
Farther than the curse is found
let the freedom roam
flowers growing in the snow
maybe we can start over
Winter wishes winter hopes
Winter dreams
you don’t have to be alone
Maybe we can start over

Colder Love
03:10
|
|||
|
I wish you deeper love growing more than you can know
I wish you wilder love dreaming through the coldest cold
I wish you gentler love stronger than thickest freeze
I wish you kinder love listening to the frosty breeze
I wish you softer love more dusty than first snow
I wish you wiser love knowing more than coldest cold
I wish you sweeter love glistening more than sun on ice
I wish you colder love frozen still after hellfire
I wish you colder love

Vastness of the Heart
04:28
|
|||
|
All of us have shivered on a lonely night
Cozied tight in blankets knowing warmth takes time
Wishing out the window at silver moon and stars
That clouds don’t dare deprive us of brilliance blessing us
There are stars within us all hot blooded in our veins
There are burdens of a blizzard too passionate to contain
Like northern lights enchanting there is a hypnotizing song
Imagining within us all all we ever could become
The darkest night knows deeply the birth of every spark
Like a universe expanding in an avalanche of love
And the coldest night knows confidently the vastness of the heart
There’s room enough for everyone for all are enough
More worthy than royalty bestowed gifts of gold
There is no price that can be paid to own a miracle
Behold the mystery of life sleeping motionless
Soaring at the speed of light how precious this life is
