Seedling

Given love and hope and warmth and light The seedling can begin its fight Defy the elements trying to survive Trying so hard despite its short time alive Your love and hope and warmth and light Is all that gets me through the night I would surrender without you by my side Drowned by all of the tears I cried Given hate and despair and darkness cold The seedling never even grows old Brutally defeated by the frigid frost Cold winds blow another life is lost My hate and despair and darkness cold Is closing my heart making me old Overwhelmed by all the time I've lost My soul is a land of tundra and frost
