- looking at loss from a different perspective
NEW GROUND
The leaf falls from the tree
The sap runs deep
Snow in the winter
Covers seeds that sleep
Sun melts the ice
And the warm Earth gives
Water to the sprouts
And the green world lives.
Chorus: Watch for a sign
Keep your heart alive
The spirit breaks new ground
Whenever something dies
Watch the shadows closely
The tears will clean your eyes
The spirit breaks new ground
Whenever something dies
You may have lost a toy
You may have lost a dream
You may have lost a friend
Someone who you need
Your chest can feel the pain
That makes it hard to breathe
But your love will always stay
And the pain will leave.
Chorus (x2)
