Luyện nghe bài hát The Wisdom of Snow

Now why this soul was bleeding
The had to understand
So invisible, he by him
And then gently touched his

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

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

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

He grew up believing, among other
Man was made in the of god
He to school, observed all rules
While working very

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

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

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 to nearly everyone
was no talent that he lacked
And for years on the football team
He was, the quarterback

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

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

She their park avenue apartment
In a 1920's style
And six months after they had in
She told him, they soon be having a child

And after first ultrasound
He knew were having a son
lives could not have been better
And had only just begun

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

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

When her own doctor came out
With several at his side
He said that his had started hemorrhaging
And despite best efforts, she died

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

The doctor then the prognosis
As gently as anyone
But before he could explaining
The father only too well

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

He'd never a job,
Learn to or ever talk
And it be a miracle
If the child even how to walk

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

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

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

There is no reason for this
Why does he even
And if he had been born
There is no way he'd have ever missed

If man is in god's image
Then something is surely amiss
For there is of god
of god
of god
of god
of god in this"

And then he asked for the
To be placed in a run home
And after he had the papers
He walked that night alone

And in this he found unkind
He built a wall around his
And every he'd add new parts
it had also enclosed his heart

He kept his job and paid his
As he became a silhouette
Of a man walking the tombs
While living his within his wounds

He himself from all his friends
Even his and brothers
And as time it went by, he developed his
So they could only see the flaws in

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

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

And as the flew to his lord
The angel did
To follow the old man
And closely by his side

For on night can one deny
The of a more sympathetic eye
To cast our fellow man
And on this night to

The frailty of dreams
Like fireflies over summer
And if one dared to remove time's
Could one retrace those trails?

But whispers in the wind
Told of dreams, forgiven sins
And who us shall be deemed
To rescue forgotten dream?

So on night of christmas eve
As again the spirits weave
Its snowswept dreams and lights
With bits of magic into each

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

For as men invest in
And professors in what they
God invests in
winter invests in snow
