Born somewhere in the clouds

I am falling from the sky

The journey of a snowflake

Is much more than meets the eye

Passenger for the wind

I may slow down or gather speed

There's no one else just like me

I am special yes indeed

Might end up on a mountain

Flying softly through the air

With any luck I'll land in

Some gorgeous woman's hair

(Chorus)

That savage sun will break through

And I'll melt soon after dawn

Saved by the water cycle

I am never truly gone

Alas the sun will shine

And my kind will disappear

Thanks to the water cycle

I will truly remain here

Pack me in a snowball

I'll be ammo for the fight

Use me in your snow fort

It will stand up strong and right

Put me in a snowman

That's been built with extra care

A beautiful snow angel

On the wing that's me in there

Howling wind I'm at your mercy

What else can I really say

When old Rover lifts his leg

I hope that's not me in the way

(Chorus)

That savage sun will break through

And I'll melt soon after dawn

Saved by the water cycle

I am never truly gone

Alas the sun will shine

And my kind will disappear

Thanks to that water cycle

I will always remain here
