lyrics

You wiped a patch of snow off the ice-lake,
The April Sun somehow let it frost.

Your sisters were dancing in the Orchard,
You called them over to see what you had found.

A man in the ice,
He left it all behind,
To find a better life,
Frozen in the ice,
Frozen in the ice,
He left it all behind,
To find a better life.
To find a better life.

With a magnifying glass,
You used the rays of Sun,
To melt away the past,
With a magnifying glass.
His blood was coming free,
His eyes began to see,
His throat slowly thawed,
And his lungs began to breath.

You pulled him to the side,
His pale face surprised,
Remembering the sky
For the first time.
