Impressions of Finland

Pine boughs bend low, with snowdrifts laid slow Lakes hold starlight, soft and aglow I tread on frost where crystal paths go Where past and present gently bestow Café steam curls, through window panes swirls Frost melts away, with warm smiles unfurls Wooden chairs hum, old tales softly twirl Like aurora lights through the firs they whirl Chorus 1 (Soprano Lead + Alto Harmony) When we flee far, from the noisy bazaar Let snow cover all the worldly jar ’Twixt the endless dark and the morning star We breathe like pines, where the quiet are Chorus 2 (Full Chorus, Upbeat Rhythm) Fairytales aren’t just pages afar But doorways to hues within our heart I finally see the light’s true avatar It’s the unspoken glance in your eyes, afar Bridge (Round: Basses First, Then Tenors, Sopranos & Altos) They plant their lives like berries in rows Brew summer’s glow into poetic prose Winter wraps the world in silent repose Teaching my shadow where its peace best grows Chorus 3 (Full Chorus, Melody Soaring) When we flee far, from the noisy bazaar Let snow cover all the worldly jar ’Twixt the endless dark and the morning star We breathe like pines, where the quiet are Fairytales aren’t just pages afar But doorways to hues within our heart I finally see the light’s true avatar It’s the unspoken glance in your eyes, afar Outro (Full Chorus, Fading Out) Reindeer break dawn’s icy blue glow I forget the old light I used to follow Ere the snow melts, our true selves we’ll show
