looking outside

everywhere around we see first signs of spring
buds on the branches white and pinkish blooms
so now this day all life seems to be blossoming

outside my window more birds seem to sing
there's now an end to winter and its glooms
everywhere around we see first signs of spring

through half-open blinds i see the flash of wing
we've had enough of laws and rules and dooms
so now this day all life seems to be blossoming

what sorrows we have here are only those we bring
far away the sounds of traffic and its fumes
everywhere around we see first signs of spring

we fear that winter still may keep some sting
in its reserve only for a moment this fear looms
so now this day all life seems to be blossoming

the time has come for life to rise and do its thing
the season's one for new hoping and new brooms
everywhere around we see first signs of spring
so now this day all life seems to be blossoming
