[Verse 1]
Little orange tree you'll never know
The hope you bring to me
A flash of color when all the world is gray
A taste of sunshine when its warmth is miles away
[Verse 2]
For when the cold sets in, I'm convinced once again
That winter's come this time to stay
And I fear the night will finally triumph
In swallowing the day
[Chorus]
Oh when the winter winds begin to blow
And ev'ry living thing / lies / under the ground
You prove new life can be found
In the midst of snow, life can grow
[Verse 3]
Little orange tree, you really are a mistery
A thing so fragile, yet so strong
This winter's k**ing everything
Yet somehow you hold on
[Chorus]
Oh when the winter winds begin to blow
And ev'ry living thing / lies / under the ground
You prove new life can be found
In the midst of snow, life can grow
Oh life can grow
Life can grow, life can grow
[Verse 4]
If it were up to me, I'd bypa** this season totally
And hibernate till spring arrives
Yet perhaps, the hardest seasons produce
The sweetest fruit in our lives
