Lyrics

(Bb)Un der the snow, be (Ab)neath the fro zen streams, there is (Eb)life.

(Bb)You have to know when (Ab)na ture sleeps, she dreams there is (Cm)life.

And the (Ab6/9)cold er the win ter, the (Bbsus)warm er the (Eb)spring; the (Gm)deep er the sor row, the (Bbsus)more our hearts (Eb)sing.

E ven (Bb6)when you can’t see it, in (Ab6/9)side ev ’ry (Bb6)thing

there is (Eb)life.

(Bb)Af ter the (Eb)rain the (Fm7)sun will re ap (Bb7sus)pear.

There is (Eb)life.

(Bb)Af ter the (Eb)pain the (Fm7)joy will still be (Bb7sus)here, there is (Eb)life.

(Eb)For it’s (Eb)out of the (Ab)dark ness that (Eb)we learn to see, and (Gm7)out of the si lence (Eb)that (Bbsus)songs come to be; and (Gm)all that we dream of a (Ab6/9)waits pa tient (Gm)ly.

(Bb7sus)There (Bb7)is (Eb)life.

(Dbsus2)Just when you (Db)thought that the (Dbsus2)ic y cold would (Db)nev er end, it’s (Ab)spring.

(Dbsus2)Just when you (Db)thought that you’d (Dbsus2)nev er hear the birds a gain, they (Ab)sing.

And the (Cb)riv ers will run and the (Ebm)ea gles will soar and the (Cb)flow ers bloom bright er than (Gb)ev er be fore.

A (Cbmaj9)new day is born; as (Gb)night turns to morn ing, there are (Bb7sus)blue (Bb7)skies

and your (Bb7sus)heart (Bb7)flies.

So, (Bb)o pen your eyes to the (Ab)beau ty all a round: there is (Eb)life.

(Bb)Let it sur prise you, the (Ab)smells, the sights, the sounds.

There is (Cm)life.

For (Ab6/9)love and ad ven ture are (Bbsus)wait ing for (Eb)you.

There’s (Gm)so much to learn and there’s (Bbsus)so much to (Eb)do.

For (Bb6)now and for al ways, there’s (Ab6/9)one thing that’s (Fm11)true:

(Bb7sus)(There (Bb7)is)

(Bb7sus)There (Bb7)is

(Eb)life.
