Walk From Cold Winter To Spring
The summer days have gone away
I am unhappy to start a new day
Along with the heat goes the happy times
Its time to do the sentence for my crimes
As I start my journey it looks grim and long
To complete it I'll have to become intelligent and strong
People say this part of my life is just a small thing
But for me it's a walk from Cold Winter to Spring
As the cold comes theres no place to hide
All the pretty girls have gone inside
No more warm nights, no more green lawns
As the cold demands it, my attention is drawn
As I'm on this cold road of destiny
I keep looking back at the summer times which used to be
As I continue on this lonely path
It seems to take all I have and a half
These Cold Winter nights come day by day
Why have the joys from last season gone away
Seems like I'm going from Jekyll to Hide
All the bad feelings in me found their way outside
As I continue my walk from Cold Winter to Spring
I look at the one who knows everything
I ask God, I say why me?
He says, this is what you need to see
He knows this road isn't pleasant to me
But sends me this way to leave what I am to become what I should be
It's the road of a boy becoming a man
The road to fulfill my life long plan
As the snow piles the road and come on the street lights
A smile comes to my face because I know the Spring coming is bright
Through I didn't choose this path and it really wasn't my thing
I was happy to take this walk from Cold Winter to Spring
