Description It's a little cold outside today
The snow falls endlessly down, lacing the air with streaks of pure light
I guess I stick out too much then
Despite how hard I try

You just can't turn black into white

Days like this are supposed to be happy, joyful
Not for me
I stay inside, bundled up, afraid to let the cold touch my heart
Scared that I'll be swept up in an endless maelstrom

But there are those who try

They did it once, and made it
Each entering the storm separately and yet
Coming together as one
As sure as they breathed

For none can brave the winds alone

And they danced, how they danced!
Among the snow, among the light
They weaved and spun through thin air
Never faltering, never falling

Finding themselves in the chaos

They called to me a few times
Asking me to join them
But what could I say?
I was a coward

And always will be

The light they danced in blinds me
The winds they rode pushes me
The snow they loved engulfs me
How could I tell them?

That I was just too afraid to make the jump?

So I stay in here
Knowing that I will never be swept away
Or be powerless against a storm
A sheltered existence

Living a lie

Seeing them dance and seeing them twirl
Among the beauty and the snow
Never minding the cold
Makes my own heart skip a beat

Not that I'd admit it

In the shadows I wonder
What would life be in the light?
If the light enfolded me
And the winds guided me

Would I be brave enough?

To trust the maelstrom
To close my eyes and fly
To put my heart on the line
Would I be brave enough…

To jump?
