Hope Inside the Ice

I hear that during night you lay

Awake and wish it was the day

And I hear that during morning's light

You wonder why it isn't night

These dreams they are a funny thing

They root inside your heart and sing

Of hopefulness that should have lost

It's path amongst your souls black frost

For years of winter's downy snow

Has taught that flame of hope to go

And I, the candle burning bright

Have come to save you from the night

But first, my dear, please tell me why

You should not listen to this lullaby

And, still with wick inside heart's ice

Should not let this fire slice

Away the nightmares and the dreams

For hope is not as lost as seems
