Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum bum bum bum
The song starts with a melodic sequence of beats that continues throughout the lyrics.

This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon, It rolls in from the sea
The singer dedicates this song to someone special and acknowledges that difficult times are coming, just like a storm from the sea.

My voice; a beacon in the night. My words will be your light, To carry you to me.
The singer is affirming that their voice is a guiding light for the one she is singing to and that her words will lead them to her.

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love
The singer repeatedly questions if love is still present and alive.

They say that things just cannot grow Beneath the winter snow, Or so I have been told.
The singer references a common belief that nothing can grow or flourish during winter, using it as a metaphor for the absence or difficulties in their love life.

They say were buried far, Just like a distant star I simply cannot hold.
The singer compares the distance of their loved one to that of a faraway, unreachable star.

This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong, 'Cause you're not where you belong; Inside my arms.
The singer expresses how much she longs to have her loved one close, especially during the cold holiday season.

I still believe in summer days. The seasons always change And life will find a way.
The singer has hope for better times and knows that life always finds a way to bring new changes with the passing of seasons.

I'll be your harvester of light And send it out tonight So we can start again.
The singer is offering herself to be a source of light for the loved one and hopes to start anew by dispersing it into their lives.

Is love alive? Is love alive? Is love alive?
The question of love's existence and presence comes up again, highlighting its importance to the singer.

This is my winter song. December never felt so wrong, 'Cause you're not where you belong; Inside my arms.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the longing for the loved one to be close during the winter's cold period.

This is my winter song to you. The storm is coming soon It rolls in from the sea.
The last verse repeats the opening lines of the song, bringing it full circle as if the singer wants to affirm her love once more before the approaching storm comes in.

My love a beacon in the night. My words will be your light To carry you to me.
The song ends on similar notes as one of the earlier verses, revealing the unwavering love the singer has and leaves their words to guide the loved one to her again.
