By Hope

Verse1
Christmas lives in families
gathered round the tree
It’s a pretty picture, not Christmastime for me
life’s complicated, not simple for a while
time to contemplate my perfect inner child

Chorus
Christmastime, how merry, when viewed from outside in
The tree still has its needles, the welcome’s not worn thin
I dream of a perfect Yuletide, of snow and cosy fires
I dream the peace of Christmas, still nestled deep within.

Verse2
Christmas charms with dinner
Where the table’s set for eight
Some still come together, to swallow more than hate
life’s complicated, real hard to raise a smile
time to contemplate my perfect inner child

Chorus

Verse3
Christmas calms with music
Festive Carols, favourite songs
Harmony in the chorus, absolving all those wrongs
life’s complicated, so it’s taking me a while
Time to contemplate that perfect inner child


Bridge
Christmas cheers with giving
Exchanging gifts on Christmas morn
My last Secret Santa was a book already torn (of porn)
I brought a bottle, stuck on a bow
then drank it with friends under the mistletoe.

Verse4
Christmas lives in families
Gathered round the tree
I’d paint that picture, of how that time could be
Life’s still complicated, but my heart is reconciled
I’ve hope for future yuletides, in that perfect Christmas child

Chorus
