chipping away
at the ice

i'm cold and i'm damp and i'm tired
but I'm fighting for the prize

this one little task
is a matter of pride

let me in let me in let me inside

in the season of love
as the light is growing
feel the warmth from above
but I can't break through
no I can't break through
to you

my sweat turned to ice
i'm working so hard
that i did not realize

it's freezing out here, don't you know
my toes are all blue and
i'm up to my eyeballs in snow
