"You cannot know how much inspiration and comfort I received from this song," Reverend Moon said of this
melody which he sang daily during his time in prison camp in North Korea. In Korea the winter often reaches
sub-zero temperatures making the coming spring a dramatic, long awaited change. This song reflects that
longing.
[Verse 1]
Eb Bb Eb
Snow and cold wind of the bitter dark night,
Ab Eb
Lift off the wight of your cold ruthless hand;
Eb Bb Cm
Spring breeze will chase you and bring flowery fragrances,
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Breathing new life to the suffocated hills.
[Verse 2]
Eb Bb Eb
Though you most ruthless of winter winds blow,
Ab Eb
Doomed in a moment you too shall be calmed;
Eb Bb Cm
Spring breeze will chase you and bring flowery fragrances,
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Breathing new life to the suffocated hills.
[Verse 3]
Eb Bb Eb
Butterfly awake and you meadowlark of spring,
Ab Eb
Our land has suffered this nightmare too long;
Eb Bb Cm
Spring breeze will chase you and bring flowery fragrances,
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Breathing new life to the suffocated hills.
