I saw the violet turn to night
I saw the water turn to ice
thousand snowflakes hovered 'round me
The world aglow

I heard a distant songbird singing
song the words I used to know
And as the melody went ringing
I felt my bones on the rocks below
The weighted trees of my only home

With Brother sleeping right beside me
The blankets pulled up to his chin
The makeshift snow cave settled slightly
But held us in and sheltered us
Like Mom and Dad, they always helped us

They helped us
They helped us
