Grace Tan - Winter Lullaby

Winter lullaby,
song of snow, lull me back to sleep.
A distant, lonely melody,
that drifts with the chilling breeze.
For outside is cold, and the road to home,
is covered in layers of snow.
The wind will haunt you, leaving you off track;
Out there, hungry, and cold.

Winter lullaby,
this soft song, blow my soul to ease.
Sing, sing it to me again,
And lead me, lead me to the land of dreams.
For dreamland will take away the cold, the pain,
and replace it with summer's breeze...

And although my body is suffering on earth,
My soul....
My soul will be set free.
