The earth is frozen in the cruel grip of a long winter, love is dying in the world, all is cold and still. Then the harbinger of the dawn comes , the Great Leader. The peoples hearts are awakened with new hope by his love , they are roused to combat and defeat the evil, and springs sweet light spreads over the land again.
lyrics
On a cold winter's morning a dewdrop formed in the icy dawn
But the coldness of the snow around reflected in it turning it to stone.
A tinkling stream is playing on the icicles a sad refrain,
In the snow of a nearby village children's tricycles are lonely and forgotten.
My mind clutches at these wondrous icicles that are hanging here,
In the stillness of this eerie night, alone beneath the trees in the forest.
Beautiful it may seem, but the ice edge is sharp
Cutting my clutching hand, crimson tears stain the snow
Pain all around me now , God how it hurts to know.
Floating in Gods heaven all alone,
Winters small creatures lie, dying amidst the snow
They are too small to flee, they are too cold to cry.
Winters chill, spell of night, dark magic binds the world
Frozen are human hearts, we crowd close worlds apart
Lonely cries paid no heed, Love is all, that we need.
The dewdrop awakes now in the morning sun of the godly one
Who has come at last and brings the spring, who's calling us to fight for our freedom.
Fire of love burns now in hearts of heroes,
Wielding our swords of light, warriors gather now,
Now is time to unite, humanity awake.
Here is our leader now, see the master Himself
Glorious golden one, shining like dragon fire
Darkness retreats before, Dharma is our desire.
In the chill spring of morning a dewdrop formed and the rising sun,
Caught the curve of liquid, tensions vessel, shining for a moment like the dawn.
Heralding Winters End, harbinger springs return,
Golden wings open wide, bliss dawning in my mind
Breaking the chains at last, Baba, the Lord is here.
And the dewdrop , awake now in a springtime land where the air is clear but warm
the sunlight touches all our hearts, so many dewdrops in the dawn.

For a natural high, listen to these guys. Great production and beautiful mantra chanting produced by Canadian artists, Sojha. I've long lost count of the number of times I've listened to this one. Dada Nabhaniilananda
