Hard Winter Lyrics 2023 © Sara Phelan

It’s gonna be a long long long hard winter
With questions that may bring a tear
Like what is the cost of all that we’ve lost
And why I’m still here frozen in fear
Please give me a sign to say we’ll be fine
And make certain you’re perfectly clear
For I need a reason to get through this season
For it’s sure been one hell of a year
Yes it’s sure been one hell of a year

It’s gonna be a long long time of healing
For folks so divided I plea
Will you make the choice to rise as one voice
And make certain we all can agree
So stop all the blame the hatred the pain
And can we love everyone the same
Love is the reason we’ll heal in this season
Finding hope in a better new year
Finding hope in a better new year

It sure has been long long time awaiting
Our baby is finally here
Could she be the sign to say we’ll be fine
Will she melt all our sorrow and fear
With hope in her face and with God’s holy grace
The message is humbly clear
This new life gives reason for joy in this season
Making way for a better new year

Then I’ll sing out with joy to every girl and little boy
May your future be brighter my dear
Your future’s the reason we’ll heal in this season
Giving hope to a better new year
Giving hope to a better new year
