Luyện nghe bài hát The Wisdom of Snow

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

Which the man to stand there still
Despite the cold
And while he stood in that trance
The angel read his

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

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

He up believing, among other things
Man was in the image of god
He to school, observed all rules
While very hard

He had always tried to help
Excelled at nearly task
And when graduated high school
Of course, he was the first one in his

And in his summer
it was time for him to leave
He had offers from colleges
All of them ivy

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

It appeared to everyone
was no talent that he lacked
And for three years on the football
He was, the quarterback

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

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

She decorated their park apartment
In a 1920's style
And six after they had moved in
She him, they would soon be having a child

And after first ultrasound
He they were having a son
Their lives could not been better
And they had only begun

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

But while waiting the delivery room
He could tell something was going wrong
For too many were rushing in
With coming out for too long

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

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

The doctor gave the prognosis
As gently as could
But before he could finish
The only too well understood

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

never hold a job,
Learn to or ever talk
And it be a miracle
If the child learned how to walk

And with words the father felt
His entire world apart
And he for the words to express
The tearing inside of his

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

"please explain to me god's
How could he
To take me my precious wife
While leaving alive

There is no reason for life
Why does he even
And if he had never been
There is no way he'd have been missed

If man is made in god's
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 in a state run home
And after he had signed the
He into that night alone

And in this he found unkind
He built a around his mind
And year he'd add new parts
Until it had also his heart

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

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

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

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

And as the flew to his lord
The did decide
To follow the old man
And stay closely by his

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

The frailty of childhood
Like fireflies over summer
And if one dared to remove veil
Could one retrace those childhood

But whispers in the winter's
Told of rescued dreams, sins
And who among us shall be
To rescue forgotten dream?

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

And as the snow gently down
Its soul to reach the ground
To cover the world still feels
Perhaps to give them time to

For as men invest in
And professors in what know
God invests in
Like winter invests in
