You Must Believe In SpringMichel Lengrad
When lonely feelings chill the meadows of your mind,
Just think, "When winter comes can spring be far behind?"
Beneath the deepest snows, the secret of a rose,
Is merely that it knows: You must believe in spring...
Just as a tree is sure, it's leaves will reappear,
It knows it's emptiness is just a time of year,
The frozen mountain's dreams, of April's melting streams
How crystal clear it seems: You must believe in spring...
You must believe in love, and trust it's on it's way,
Just as a sleeping rose awalts the kiss of May,
So, in a world of snow, of things that come and go,
Where what you think you know, you can't be certain of:
You must believe in spring and love
