lyrics

A snowflake's small and fragile; by itself, it isn’t much
It flies away with any breeze; it melts away at our touch
But look at what they do when they stick together
Snowflakes will change more than the weather

In a world that screams to toughen up, it’s brave to share your pain
There’s strength in sensitivity; it’s time for care to reign

People get fed up walking on eggshells
For fear that they’ll misstep or fall
It’s easy to give up and just stomp all over
And believe that the ruins don’t matter at all

You don’t have to stomp or tiptoe
To get to the other side
Just pick them up and speak to them
Until you’re satisfied

Inside these eggs are baby birds, but though they may seem small
They’ll grow up into creatures that will fly more than they fall

We need to hear each other out; feel free to speak your mind
Just know your words are heard by faces; remember to be kind

We all share an earth; one day we’ll all lie under graves
Until then let’s be thoughtful; until then let’s be brave

In a world that screams to toughen up, it’s brave to share your pain
There’s strength in sensitivity; it’s time for care to rain
