When snow is falling from a starless sky
You can hear God calling in a silent cry
To Mother Nature, whose job it is
To remind us all that the earth's still His
That's when I go out in the night
See the world outlined in black and white
To feel God's breath blowing in my face
Get carried off to a transcendent place
As I walk along in the storm
My spirit rises o'er my bodily form
I raise my arms and joyfully sing
Of the beauty of all natural things
But this joy is short lived because I cannot ignore
The plight of the cold and desperately poor
For whom a night like this brings only dread
For the want of warmth or a slice of bread
I can't help but ask why this is so
And it hurts me to realize I don't really know
How something so beautiful, free and wild
Can bring so much pain to an innocent child
