WinterTide from WinterTide by Alexander James Adams

WINTERTIDE
Music & Lyrics: Alexander James Adams

The bitter bite of the winter cold
Brings memories of days of old-
When running from the shadows long
We sing ourselves a winter song-
Now we’re too diverse, we’re too advanced
There’s no song left that we’ve not danced-
Yet there remains one thing to learn-
To Perfect Love we must return!

REJOICE, REJOICE STANDING HAND IN HAND,
RAISE ONE VOICE ALL ACROSS THE LAND!
WHILE THE SNOW WHITE STAG WITH THE SILVER TINES,
WILL DANCE IN A CIRCLE OF SIX-AND-NINES,
FORWARD, BACK, SIDE TO SIDE-
ALL CELEBRATION OF THE WINTERTIDE!

I don’t know you, you don’t know me
But we are kin in humanity-
We can laugh, we all can cry,
We strive to live, yet still we die-
Let’s all seek shelter from the storm
With different faiths to keep us warm-
Side by side, around the fire,
Trust and love are what Gods require!

We need to keep the Dark at bay-
We need to watch the words we say-
Comparisons keep us at odds-
There’s room inside for all our Gods-
Embrace the things that we all share,
For then we find compassion there-
To those that thirst, you offer drink,
It’s not as hard as you might think!

So ring the bell and sound the horn,
Celebrate our love reborn!
Back to back, or eye to eye,
We stand as one against the sky-
Different and yet still the same,
Acceptance lies beyond the name-
You live and breathe the same as me
Respect of this brings unity!
