The light is shining
It is so bright in my eyes
Such a shiny thing

A snowflake
One, two three,
They cover the ground until you can't count them
I press my cheeks against the sitting room window
Not soon after, it's a snow wonderland
The children come out and play
In this wonderful land of snowflakes

The leaves change color
When they're greatly beautiful
The snow will then come

That bog happy family down the block
Why they're so jolly for a family of 8
Always going in their SUV and coming back laughing
The momma with her black hair glowing
Hugging her children
I hear their dinner prayers from my bedroom
Their Friday night card games
Always running around and laughing
Why laughing should be their middle name
They throw block parties
The hotdogs on their grill can be smelled a mile away
Their the big happy family

With her fancy black dress
And black hat and veil
Is she a lovely lady?
Her fancy accent and shiny gloves
Does that make her a lovely lady
Her stressed butler and fat limousine
Is she now a lovely lady?
Her love to others misfortune and grief
Is she a lovely lady?
She isn't a lovely lady?
Kindness, generosity, manners, and politeness
Now that's a lovely lady.

In the airplane up in the sky
I stare at the ground from my window
The people look like ants
Rushing everywhere like ants
Buildings look like platforms from my birdseye view
My birdseye view from my window

It was a hot summer day
The sun blazed in the sky
Oh what I would do for a glass of ice water
Oh what I would do for a cold, cold bath
On this hot summer day
