You've got to keep your eyes open To what's ahead Keep the thought clear Running through your head In this life Coming in from the cold Keep your head above the water And the level rising Keep a true heart With no surprises in this life Coming in from the cold Coming in from the cold You've got to keep the words flowing Like the rush of a river Realization of something much bigger In this life Coming in from the cold Washing the soil You're washing of water Stripping in pure light Stripping the father from the cane crop Coming in from the cold Coming in from the cold It's cold outside, the ice is forming I can see my breath How I long for the warming Underneath the stars The moon she will guide us To the growing embers of the fire inside us When the fair weather wind Is rustling the trees Hustling and bustling In the fair weather breeze Got to remember We're coming in from the cold From the larger than life To the small speck of dust The dog days of summer should still remind us That in this life We're coming in from the cold Coming in from the cold It's cold outside The ice is forming I can see my breath How I long for the warming Underneath the stars The moon she will guide us To the glowing embers of the fire inside us All I know is with my own two hands I suspect that everyone in every land In this life, is coming in from the cold The nation's children From near and from far There's hope that you'll be smarter Than we are in your life As you come in from your cold Coming in from the cold Coming in from the cold Coming in from the cold Coming in from the cold
