Under the Oak - Take in the Spring Lyrics

Like trees asleep against the sky
The air is cold and dry
Surrender to the spring
A long December in your veins
Deny the season's change
You're winter's following
Cast aside the starry sky
You'll find that beauty rides on the breath of one who's gone
Follow the sun
And you're scared and it hurts
But not living is worse than the thaw and the sting
So take in the spring
Beauty tangles in the scars
Of a guarded heart
Set the army free
The aching fever in a prayer
A gift to be laid bare
It's the Perfect Plea
Love casts a shadow in the night
The flame is burning bright, there for you and me
There for you and me
And you're scared and it hurts
But not living is worse than the thaw and the sting
So take in the spring
It emerges through the snow
Like a lenten rose
Love remembering
That there is hope hidden away
Awaiting summer's day
Away from winter's sting
And you're scared and it hurts
But not living is worse than the thaw and the sting
So take in the spring
Take in the spring
