Into the Winter

In this world

Full of broken parts

We are not whole

From the start

I’d rather face

The cold

In this world

Full of broken hearts

We’re not equal

Wrest apart

I’d rather be

More bold

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Of escape

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The snow

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Than this place

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather fall out

And go

———

We are made

Of pain and need

All that they see

Is their greed

I’d rather face

The wind

We are made

Of freedom’s seed

And we can be

All love’s creed

I’d rather be

Unpinned

———

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Of escape

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The snow

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Than this place

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather fall out

And go

———

They don’t let

Us be real alive

We are meant to

Rise and thrive

I’d rather face

The ice

They don’t let

Us not just survive

But we need to

Try and strive

I’d rather be

Not nice

———

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Of escape

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The snow

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Than this place

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather fall out

And go

————

I don’t wanna be alive I’d rather be alight

I’d rather see the universe inside of the night

I don’t wanna be alive I’d rather be alight

I’d rather see the way the Arctic ravens take flight

I don’t wanna be alive I’d rather be alight

I’d rather see the universe inside of the night

I don’t wanna be alive I’d rather be alight

I’d rather be a whole damn person with equal rights

———

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Of escape

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The snow

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Than this place

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather fall out

And go

———

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Of escape

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The snow

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather face

The freezing winter

Than this place

I’d rather face

You know I’d rather fall out

And go

———

And we’ll all go

Into the snow

And on that day

The kids can play

And we’ll all go

Up from below

Some day we’ll rise

To their surprise
