Description: Repetitive and frantic builds flank a reflective section with a mezzo or baritone solo. The general sentiment is "open the door to your brother/sister outside, alone in the cold - how can you be warm with family and friends while he or she's lonely, cold and starving?" The solo is the thoughts of the visitor coming through the open door and experiencing the warmth of a family.
