It started with a beating of a frozen winter heart
It started with a feeling, I can make a brand new start
Gonna go out, gonna shake off all the demons of the day
Gonna sing out, gonna stay out 'cause the rain has gone away

It's been a long, hard year
I've been waiting for the summer to come
So I wait here
Waiting for the light of the sun
I've been waiting for the summer to come

I parted from the feeling, I was never gonna change
And I started to believe in the hope of better days
Then the wind changed in the garden
And the darkness went away
I could hear you saying, "Don't you be afraid"

It's been a long, hard year
I've been waiting for the summer to come
So I wait here
Waiting for the light of the sun
I've been waiting for the summer to come

It's been a long, hard year
I've been waiting for the summer to come
So I wait here
Waiting for the light of the sun
It's been a long, hard year
I've been waiting for the summer to come
