Text

Wrapped in the beauty, everything is white
Lost in a blanket from the sky
An elusive path led me here
All I bring along is hope
Nothing is clear

Surrender to a fragile miracle
Make an angel in the snow
Surrender, it’s just one day to let go

Branches of lace, deep in the evergreen
A cathedral ceiling high above me
For a little while fears are frozen
Lying here in a dark storm’s creation

Surrender to a fragile miracle
Make an angel in the snow
Surrender, it’s just one day to let go

After this, the world seems brighter
And somehow my steps are lighter
