Where the Winter Stands Its Ground

[Intro] The frost was thin on the waking ground Bjorn carved the snow with a rumbling sound But the sun rose fast with a burning glare Melting the shape he was building there [Verse 1] His great white paws shaped the fading cold A snowman born from a story told But the warmth crept in like a creeping flame Stealing the winter he tried to claim [Pre-Chorus] He growled, “Hold on, don’t fall apart” The snow slid down like a breaking heart The light pressed hard, the shadows thin But he would not let the melt win [Chorus] Then Tobbie came running with a fierce bright stride “Let’s build it faster, we stand with pride” They slammed their boots in a thundered beat Stomp-and-Holler rising through the sleet Their hands moved quick through the dying white Two silhouettes in the gothic light And the snowman rose where the warmth had tried To take the winter from their side [Verse 2] Snow burst high as they shaped the frame Two friends racing a losing game Bjorn’s deep laugh rolled like a distant storm Tobbie’s fire kept the cold reform [Pre-Chorus] The sun climbed higher, the minutes bled But they pushed on with a steady tread “Hold the base steady,” Tobbie cried Bjorn braced the form with a titan’s pride [Chorus] Then Tobbie came running with a fierce bright stride “Let’s build it faster, we stand with pride” They slammed their boots in a thundered beat Stomp-and-Holler rising through the sleet Their hands moved quick through the dying white Two silhouettes in the gothic light And the snowman rose where the warmth had tried To take the winter from their side [Bridge] The snowman stood tall in the fading cold A fragile triumph in the sun’s strong hold But Bjorn and Tobbie, shoulder to shoulder Made winter’s breath feel darker, bolder [Final Chorus] Then Tobbie came running with a fierce bright stride “Let’s build it faster, we stand with pride” And Bjorn roared low as the warm winds sighed Their snowman gleamed in the gothic light Boots on the ground in a pounding beat Two hearts burning where the shadows meet And the snowman stood in the dying white A frozen victory against the light
