Cold day

Every morning

Before the sun does rise

He cries

Then he wipes away his tears

He'll have no fears

And no one will know how hard he tries

Every minute of every day

She prays

That she will be strong

Enough to carry on

But she fears she's wasting away

It's a cold day in history

One of the coldest of all time

I'm so caught up with trying to stay warm

I forget to pay others any mind

Every evening

After the sun goes down

He feels alone

In his heart of hearts

Soul of souls

He wonders if he'll ever make it home

Every hour of every night

She lies awake

Thinking of all she's got to do

Just to make it through

Can she handle all that is at stake

It's a cold day in history

One of the coldest of the year

Can I hold you in my arms

And help you forget the fear

Can I hold you in my arms

And help you forget the fear
