There’s a winter inside of me
A wild life
Is hidden beneath the snowfall
Uncover the fossilized heart
It looks like cherry wood, my blood candied sweet
Uncover the womb
Still somehow warm, my eggs floating in shining amber
All is frozen in time
Why is the sun shining on him?
Why are we under the same stars?
When did I become a woman?
Aged are my thoughts and fears
Aged am I
By the cold place I found safety
I am a mother to my pain
I have captured those unbearable moments
In a frost only I can melt
To withstand the elements of life
A mother knows her children will grow
A mother knows she must let go

There’s a winter inside of me
A wild life
Is hidden beneath the snowfall
Uncover the fossilized heart
It looks like cherry wood, my blood candied sweet
Uncover the womb
Still somehow warm, my eggs floating in shining amber
All is frozen in time
Why is the sun shining on him?
Why are we under the same stars?
When did I become a woman?
Aged are my thoughts and fears
Aged am I
By the cold place I found safety
I am a mother to my pain
I have captured those unbearable moments
In a frost only I can melt
To withstand the elements of life
A mother knows her children will grow
A mother knows she must let go
