I have carved the ice That surrounds my heart Into a beautiful palace Forgetting the fire That burns within Ice is brittle Water is soft Let this ice melt away And flow into rivers And streams, and seas Becoming one with all
This house of ice You saw straight through me with your gaze And I did not ask you to leave If only you had stayed I melt this ice so that you might be warm We can swim in the ocean Life will flourish
You are the match that gave rise to the fire That released the heart of me From this icy palace I had sought so hard to forge For I knew not of you
There is a home here Please visit me Sit with me Let us swim in the ocean
