A Kindred Soul in Wind and Snow

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The wind blows dusk into a blur that hides the distant mountains

In the snow, we drain our cups of humble wine

Your instrument case still bears the scars of old roads

Yet your fingertips can still play heaven and earth bright and open

[Pre-Chorus]

Do not let a passing chill block the fire in your heart

Someone will always pause for your earnestness

[Chorus]

Carry the qin's music through this wind and snow

Sing your name toward more distant plains

No one needs to light your way before the journey begins

You too can sing a little light into the dark

Carry the qin's music through this wind and snow

May we hear a new chapter when we meet again

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

These years have been no easy journey for either of us

Even an old coat must stand its ground against the cold night

I have little that I can give you

I place this assurance of faith firmly in your heart

[Pre-Chorus]

Do not let a passing chill block the fire in your heart

Someone will always pause for your earnestness

[Chorus]

Carry the qin's music through this wind and snow

Sing your name toward more distant plains

No one needs to light your way before the journey begins

You too can sing a little light into the dark

Carry the qin's music through this wind and snow

May we hear a new chapter when we meet again

[Bridge]

Do not think less of yourself because you are poor

I won't doubt the journey we shared just because the feast has ended

When the first beam of light crosses the pale mountain ridge

Please remember there are still friends waiting here for you

[Final Chorus]

Carry the qin's music through this wind and snow

Sing your name toward more distant plains

No one needs to light your way before the journey begins

You too can sing a little light into the dark

Carry the qin's music through this wind and snow

May we hear a new chapter when we meet again

[Outro]

Footprints in the snow lead farther and farther away

Your qin's music still warms my fingertips
