This is the time of awakening The season has come for new life The cold giving way to a warm wind The darkness is 'chased by the light' The world half asleep since the snowfall Turning her face to the sun Somehow the seeds still remember To spring from the earth as one. And we sing the songs of love and we watch the stars above For a sign of the change in the seasons, a return of the light of love. Some of us stay through the winter And some of fly to the sun. Those who remain know the joy that comes With the taste of spring rain on the tongue. And we sing the songs of love and we watch the stars above For a sign of the change in the seasons, a return of the light of love. Is this the reason for living To learn from earth how it's done We're never far from our mother She's where we are going and where we're from. And we sing the songs of love and we watch the stars above For a sign of the change in the seasons, a return of the light of love.
