trans-siberian orchestra - back to a reason (part ii) [narration] lyrics

[spoken word]
now that young girl outside the store
was trying to capture snow’s magic
but each flake melted at her touch
which her young mind found quite tragic
and while chasing an elusive snowflake
that was determined to reach the ground
she bumped into the buisnessman passing by
and nearly knocked him down
and thinking she was in trouble
the child quickly apologized
but the man was not accepting it
she could see it in his eyes
she explained she had been looking in the toy shop
that tomorrow would be christmas day
but the man muttered words she could not understand
so she searched for something else she could say
“do you have any children?” the child asked the man
“no” was his instant reply
and though he said it, in his firmest voice
in his heart he knew he had lied
the girl was getting on his nerves
which were already shot
something about her bothered him
but he could not say quite what
then he noticed the time was approaching midnight
what was she doing on this street?
when he asked the girl this question
the child seemed to retreat
she said she was staying with her parents at the hotel right next door
they were there for just this one night
in room 1224
then he said “you best get back there as quickly as you can fly”
and he watched as she ran all the way
until she was safely back inside
then he took several steps in the direction towards his home
but then he hesitated and took out his cellphone
and called up the institution for where he had left his son
to find out if he was still there and alive
wondering if the past could be undone
the operator who answered searched the computer
to see if the child had survived
and she was sincerely happy to tell him
“your son is no longer here but he is alive”
then the lady, who was very kind, said,
“if you have a short while i can give you all the information
that is here inside his file
i see that at age twelve he had finally learned to walk
and could understand things most people said
but has never learned to talk
he’s living uptown in the bronx at a boarding house hotel”
and then the lady gave him the phone number
and the hotel’s address as well
and for the first time in many years
the man thought about his life
and all the things he had left behind
and of course, he thought about his wife
and he wondered, if she had lived, the things they might have done
but really, most of all right now
he thought about his son
