Winter Hymnal
One deep human truth
That starts with me and has to do with you
Is I don't like change
And I wont change my mind about it
Until I reach my death bed
Which is warmed up
And waiting for me
Because the world follows in my footsteps
Go as I will and I wont look back
The past is the present still
So I'll catch my breath
Despite the cold air coming
I'll fight with my lungs and with my head
Because tomorrow brings a strong wind
The same one coming
And I'll do it again
You know what they say
The good die young
And I can tell because I'm breathing another day
So as long as I'm good
I'll defy the odds like I should
Because I don't believe in change
But season greetings
And I'm hit in the face with reality
Am I the only one standing
Or is there white around
To kill the flesh that I have
Rhetorical questions
Have no place here
Not here right now
Not in this space
The only space I have
Is the cold air
The one that chokes me in its path
So I'll catch my breath
Despite the cold air coming
And I'll fight with my lungs and with my head
Because tomorrow brings a strong wind
The same one coming
And I'll do it again
You know what they say
The good die young
And I can tell because I'm breathing another day
So as long as I'm good
I'll defy the odds like I should
Because I don't believe in change
That starts with me and has to do with you
Is I don't like change
And I wont change my mind about it
Until I reach my death bed
Which is warmed up
And waiting for me
Because the world follows in my footsteps
Go as I will and I wont look back
The past is the present still
So I'll catch my breath
Despite the cold air coming
I'll fight with my lungs and with my head
Because tomorrow brings a strong wind
The same one coming
And I'll do it again
You know what they say
The good die young
And I can tell because I'm breathing another day
So as long as I'm good
I'll defy the odds like I should
Because I don't believe in change
But season greetings
And I'm hit in the face with reality
Am I the only one standing
Or is there white around
To kill the flesh that I have
Rhetorical questions
Have no place here
Not here right now
Not in this space
The only space I have
Is the cold air
The one that chokes me in its path
So I'll catch my breath
Despite the cold air coming
And I'll fight with my lungs and with my head
Because tomorrow brings a strong wind
The same one coming
And I'll do it again
You know what they say
The good die young
And I can tell because I'm breathing another day
So as long as I'm good
I'll defy the odds like I should
Because I don't believe in change
