The Land Of The Living

The frost came so early this year / Springtime is long overdue / And my heavy coat, it don't keep out the cold / Like it used to / Nothing but fog in my mind / Nothing but ice in my veins / I know everything's got a season, but tell me please the reason / This winter will not go away //

Chorus: Oh I, I would despair / If I did not believe / That I would see again / Your hand in the land of the living//

I know I'm not the first soul / To find myself lost in the night / But it's so long and dark, I'm not sure that my heart / Can survive / Still I've got no choice but to wait / And cling to this last bit of rope / It's the promise that you made me not to leave me or forsake me / So here I am hoping that hope //

Chorus: Cause I, I would despair / If I did not believe / That I would see again / Your hand in the land of the living //

Sometimes I dream that the summer has come / I feel the warmth of the afternoon sun / But then I awaken and I'm back to waiting / Oh how much longer Lord?//

I, I would despair / If I did not believe / That I would see again / Your hand in the land of the living / I, I would despair / If I did not believe / That I would see again / Your hand in the land of the living //
