The darkness turns familiar trees to strangers The snowfall shapes new outlines of the land Our lives can seem the game of rich men's wagers Our days do not unfold the way we planned But hope is a celebration Friendships is the key to all things true Love is each day's redemption Where kindness shines then love will see us through The darkness turns small fears to storms before us But we can face the worst of life's demands If through the years we join each voice in chorus The moors may shift but still the mountain stands And hope is a celebration Friendship is the key to all things true Love is each day's redemption Where kindness shines then love will see us through
