# **The Cycles of Seasons** [Verse 1] So every year begins with cold, with ice and snow, But soon the springtime comes again, and all begins to flow. The animals leave their winter sleep, the scent of hay is near, The truly lovely season comes, with birds in endless cheer. [Verse 2] Then summer comes once more again, and everything will grow. How beautiful the little birds sound, as they their nests bestow. When sunlight’s rays are sparkling bright, and warmth is soft and sweet, Surely no one should prevent us from resting in our retreat. [Chorus] The seasons turn, the years go by, Like endless circles in the sky. Through rain and sun, through dark and light, Life keeps returning, pure and bright. [Verse 3] Then autumn comes again at last, and harvest time is here. We find a little comfort then; the outcome was sincere. We prepare the earth again with shovel, hoe, and rake, For every soul must find their road, and choices they must make. [Verse 4] Then autumn’s chilly winds arrive and blow the leaves away, From trees to gates and everywhere, they scatter through the day. The ground becomes a golden field of autumn leaves so wide, But everything awakens once more when spring returns with pride. [Bridge] I write about a year in these difficult and troubled days. Each year we wish for peace to come, yet war still finds its ways. Where love is vast and endless, where kindness has its home, There shall be peace forevermore, and hearts will not be alone. [Final Chorus] The seasons turn, the years go by, Like endless stars across the sky. Where love is strong and peace can grow, A brighter world begins to show. [Outro] A world of love, a world of light, A dawn beyond the darkest night.
