Beautiful Song

This morning, I was looking at the new Challenge Farm website.  As I navigated the pages, I was on the "see farm" slideshow and a song began playing with the slideshow.  I had never heard it before, but it is truly beautiful.  It is "Winter Song" by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. 



As I listened to the lyrics, I was also reminded of the many orphans across the world waiting to be adopted before they are given their ultimate death sentence with life in an institution.  I have had quite a few friends who were called to adopt children with Down syndrome or other special needs from Eastern Europe- many of them traveled in these cold months and these lyrics struck me.  Read these lyrics, listen to the song and head on over to Reece's Rainbow, who currently have their Angel Tree project going.  Maybe YOU can make a difference in a child's life today?

Winter Song

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
It rolls in from the sea

My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
To carry you to me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so i have been told.

They say were buried far,
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
And life will find a way.

Ill be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.

My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
