we planted the seed while the tears of our grief soaked the ground the sky lost its sun and the world lost its green to lifeless brown now the chilling wind has turned the earth hard as stone and silently seed rise beneath ice and snow and my heart s heavy now but i m not letting go of this hope i have that tells me spring is coming spring is coming and all we ve been hoping and longing for soon will appear spring is coming spring is coming it won t be long now it s just about here hear the birds start to sing feel the life in the breeze watch the ice melt away the kids are coming out to play feel the sun on your skin growing strong and warm again watch the ground there s something moving something is breaking through new life is breaking through spring is coming spring is coming and all we ve been hoping and longing for soon will appear spring is coming spring is coming and it won t be long now it s just about here spring is coming spring is coming and all we ve been hoping and longing for soon will appear spring is coming spring is coming it won t be long now it s just about here
