Old Man Winter

NO GODS ALIVE CAN BE SO COLD,
LIKE OLD MAN WINTER WHO IS TRULY OLD.

OLD MAN WINTER HAS A RIGHT TO EXPRESS.
HE CAN FREEZE THE EAST WITH JUST ONE LONG BREATH.

OLD MAN WINTER HAS EVERY RIGHT TO LET YOU KNOW,
HE CAN LOWER THE TEMPS AND MAKE IT SNOW.

OLD MAN WINTER IS NOT REALLY MEAN.
HE DOES WHAT HE DOES BECAUSE MOTHER NATURE'S SUPREME.

HE'LL GIVE YOU A WHISTLE WITH A SWIRLING WIND,
A SIGNATURE KNOCK A STORMS COMING IN.

HIS SIGNATURE FROST IS MAGIC TO TREES
PUTS MAPLE TO SLEEP TO STORE LIFE FOR THE SPRING.

IF NOT FOR WINTER THE SUN WOULD SHINE
WITH A CONSTANT HEAT THAT WOULD MELT OUR MINDS
