The Light Remains

The world is sleeping under snow
The rivers rest, the cold winds blow
The trees stand silent in the night
And every window holds a light

The roads are empty, skies are gray
The summer feels so far away
But somewhere underneath the ground
A thousand dreams are sleeping sound

And when the darkest nights arrive
We find the things that keep us alive
Not in the stars or endless skies
But in the warmth of someone's eyes

The light remains, the light remains
Through frozen nights and winter rain
And when the world forgets our names
The love we gave will still remain

The light remains, the light remains
Beyond the cold, beyond the pain
And even when the seasons change
Somewhere inside, the light remains

Oh-oh-oh, the light remains
Oh-oh-oh, through winter days
I see the years upon your face
The little lines that time has traced

And every laugh, and every tear
Has brought us safely to right here
Outside the snow begins to fall
Inside there's room enough for all

And in the quiet of the night
We find a different kind of light
And if tomorrow never comes
If all the songs have all been sung

I hope you know, beyond the years
You were the reason I was here
But deep beneath the frozen ground
The sleeping seeds are waiting now

And somewhere past the winter rain
The world will learn to bloom again
The light remains, the light remains
Through frozen nights and winter rain

And when the world forgets our names
The love we gave will still remain
The light remains, the light remains
Beyond the cold, beyond the pain

And even when the seasons change
Somewhere inside, the light remains
The snow will melt
The rivers run

The world will wake
And spring will come.
