Sometimes the world seems bleak,
always a reason to fuss or fret,
but I wanted to send you some hope
and offer you some advice I hope
you'll never forget.
Let the darkness of autumn come;
there's no way to push it away.
but be thankful for all the gifts you have,
and pray for brighter days.
And when the winter winds arrive,
let them howl and moan;
let the snow pile high and wide.
The cold can never touch you
if you own the warmth of hope inside.
