We planted the seed while the tears of our grief soaked the ground The sky lost its sun, and the world lost its green to lifeless brown Now the chilling wind has turned the earth hard as stone And silently seed rise beneath ice and snow And my heart's heavy now But I'm not letting go of this hope I have that tells me Spring is coming, Spring is coming And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear Spring is coming, Spring is coming It won't be long now, it's just about here Hear the birds start to sing Feel the life in the breeze Watch the ice melt away The kids are coming out to play Feel the sun on your skin Growing strong and warm again Watch the ground: there's something moving Something is breaking through New life is breaking through Spring is coming, Spring is coming And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear Spring is coming, Spring is coming And it won't be long now, it's just about here Spring is coming, Spring is coming (Out of these ashes, beauty will rise) And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear (Sorrow will be turned to joy) Spring is coming, Spring is coming (All we hoped for soon will appear) It won't be long now, it's just about here (Out of the dark clouds, beauty will shine) (All above in heaven, rejoice) (Spring is coming soon) (Spring is coming soon)
