In Like a Lion (Always Winter)
December 7, 2007I don’t want to just post this song and not write about it, but mostly I just want you all to find the song and give it a listen. (You need the music to do it justice). Relient K wrote this for The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; and even though it didn’t make the movie soundtrack, it still made their new christmas album. I don’t know… something about the concept of how it’s always winter, and you feel like things will never change, is really timely for me right now. Everytime I really give this song a listen it just brings tears to my eyes.
In Like A Lion (Always Winter)
-Relient KIt’s always nice to look out the window
And see those very first few flakes of snow
And later on we can go outside
And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the skyWhen February rolls around I’ll roll my eyes
Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies
And by the fire my heart it heaves a sigh
For the green grass waiting on the other sideIt’s always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can’t be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hopeIt’d be so nice to look out the window
And see the leaves on the trees begin to show
The birds would congregate and sing
A song of birth a song of newer thingsThe wind would calm and the sun would shine
I’d go outside and I’d squint my eyes
But for now I will simply just withdraw
Sit here and wish for this world to thawIt’s always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can’t be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hopeAnd everything it changed overnight
This dying world you brought it back to life
And deep inside I felt things
Shifting everything was melting
Away oh away
And you gave us the most beautiful of daysCause when it’s always winter but never Christmas
Sometimes it feels like you’re not with us
But deep inside our hearts we know
That you are here and we will not lose hope
