Simple Winter Song

Sing a simple winter song

When day is short and night is long

Sing a simple winter song

 

Now the cold is at the door

The ancient time has come once more

Sing a simple winter song

 

Branch is bare

Air is chill

Moonlight soft as pine

 

Holly green

Grey-blue sky

Come see the rising sun!

 

Sun for fire and food and warmth

Want and fear dispels

Dark can flee the light we burn

Hope's goodwill prevails

 

Sing a simple winter song

The bleakest night won't last for long

Sing a simple winter song

 

Sing a simple winter song

Despair is short and joy is long

 

Sing a simple winter song
