When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind,
Just think if winter comes,
Can spring be far behind?
Beneath the deepest snows,
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in spring
Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear
It knows its emptiness
Is just the time of year
The frozen mountain dreams
Of April's melting streams
How crystal clear it seems
You must believe in spring!
When angry voices drown
The music of the spheres
And children face a world
That’s far beyond their years
Above the darkest sky
The full horizons lie
With all the reasons why
You must believe in spring
You must believe in love
And trust it's on its way,
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May
So in a world of snow,
Of things that come and go,
Where what you think you know,
You can't be certain of,
You must believe in spring and love
