Luyện nghe bài hát The Wisdom of Snow

Now why this man's soul was
The had to understand
So invisible, he by him
And then touched his hand

caused the man to stand there still
Despite the winter's
And while he stood there in that
The read his soul

It seemed the man was not like
The man he had
And that angel wondered how that change had
And when it had

The man had been born to a and religious family
And raised in the
And all his childhood
man, clearly, had been blessed

He grew up believing, among other
Man was in the image of god
He went to school, all rules
While working hard

He had tried to help others
at nearly every task
And when he'd graduated school
Of course, he was the first one in his

And in his eighteenth
When it was for him to leave
He had offers several colleges
All of ivy league

And at college in all his
He always straight "a"s
And when he tried his hand in
He got the in the senior play

It appeared to nearly
was no talent that he lacked
And for years on the football team
He was, the star

And there he met the girl
Who did become his
With her, his world was now
He had the perfect

When had graduated college
They were wed in a quite grand
Then moved to new york
In a they seemed caught
all had been perfectly planned

She decorated their park avenue
In a 1920's art-deco
And six months after had moved in
She told him, would soon be having a child

And after their ultrasound
He knew they having a son
Their lives could not have been
And they had only begun

they arrived early at the hospital
On the date
The was taking no chances
And did not want to being late

But while waiting the delivery room
He could tell something was going wrong
For too many doctors were in
none coming out for too long

When her own doctor finally out
With nurses at his side
He said that his had started hemorrhaging
And despite their efforts, she died

Then in an to console him
A nurse gave him his to hold
But the way the child felt limp in his arms
He knew there was still more bad news to be

The then gave the prognosis
As gently as anyone
But before he could finish
The father too well understood

The child had been cut off oxygen
For minutes, which is far too
The was now irreversible
His permanently malformed

He'd hold a job,
Learn to or ever talk
And it be a miracle
If the child learned how to walk

And with those words the father
His entire falling apart
And he for the words to express
The tearing of his heart

He out, why did god have to take her
she was still so young
And as if to cut him deeper
Leave thing here as his son

"please explain to me god's
How he decide
To from me my precious wife
While this alive

There is no reason for life
Why does he exist
And if he had been born
There is no way he'd have ever been

If man is in god's image
Then here is surely amiss
For is nothing of god
of god
of god
of god
of god in this"

And he asked for the child
To be placed in a run home
And he had signed the papers
He walked into that night

And in this world he found
He built a wall around his
And year he'd add new parts
Until it had also enclosed his

He his job and paid his debts
As he slowly a silhouette
Of a man among the tombs
While living his within his wounds

He distanced himself from all his
Even his and brothers
And as it went by, he developed his eyes
So they could see the flaws in others

With this final glimpse, the angel away
And the man shook out of his trance
continued his walk back towards his home
And few would given his soul half of a chance

And the angel felt helpless
As he watched that old man
So he did what humans do
And he said a prayer

And as the prayer to his lord
The angel did
To carefully the old man
And stay by his side

For on night can one deny
The gift of a sympathetic eye
To cast upon our man
And on this to understand

The frailty of childhood
fireflies over summer streams
And if one dared to time's veil
one retrace those childhood trails?

But whispers in the winter's
Told of rescued dreams, forgiven
And who among us be deemed
To some forgotten dream?

So on this of christmas eve
As again the spirits weave
Its dreams and colored lights
With bits of magic into life

And as the snow comes gently
Its soul intent to the ground
To cover scars the world feels
to give them time to heal

For as men in money
And in what they know
God invests in
Like winter invests in

[THE OF SNOW]
