This is the original demo I made when I was home in 2020. The studio version was released in 2023, but this one is so special to me.

spent so long
coloring in-
side the lines of winter's wanting
forgot there had to be an end
heard my guts
when it said
you've done all that you can
it is what it is
you should be proud of it

what a way to start the spring
what a way to start again
what a way to feel
oh to finally grow again

now I sit
by the window
watching the colors swirling
didn't have to move at all
raise my glass
to the wind
for doing what it is
graceful as it bends
carrying life in it

what a way to start the spring
what a way to start again
what a way to feel
oh to finally breathe
again
