"Winterhymn" Lyrics

I am walking through the valley of snow,
Learning the lessons of winter.
In the end I will know,
The darkness has been my teacher.

I looked out on the barren land,
And all the world was dying.
No one was there to take my hand,
No one could hear me crying.

Blinded by the storm, I could no longer see.
All my hopes and dreams were gone.
But in the frozen valley, I learned the winter's song,
Learned the winter's song.

In falling I learned how to stand,
In death I learned of living,
In stumbling I learned how to dance,
In loss I learned of giving.

There will come a time when summer sun will shine.
I'll stand upon the mountain again,
But I'll remember the darkness,
And sing the Winterhymn,
Sing the Winterhymn.

I am not in this valley alone,
Thought dark clouds hide you from me.
I'll believe in the promise of spring,
And in the winter night,
I will sing,
I will sing,
I will sing.
