I took the box and I dusted it down
Picked the lights and the tinsel out
Jumbled knots and lines of twisted wire
Like a tangled broken dream
Put the tree up in the usual space
Well you know that it’s seen better days
Then I folded all the branches out
Trying to make things new again
CHORUS
Well we know that everything’s not right
But we both can’t just let things slide
I just want to have this Christmas time
Like the way it was before
Candle flames reflect on candy canes
The light reminds me of a happier day
I just want to have this Christmas time
Like the way it was before
SOLO
Christmas tunes pour out the radio
Some are happy some just make you blue
I remember midnight in the church
Singing songs and holding hands
CHORUS

Making Christmas Feel Right
Lend your brother a hand
Help your sister to stand this Christmas
In every part of the land
People struggle to live this Christmas
Do all that you can, give a bit of yourself
Making Christmas feel right
Take a walk downtown
Have a look at the Christmas lights all around
Meeting family and friends
Share the love that’s what Christmas is all about
CHORUS
Hear all the Christmas sounds
The songs they play around this time of the year
Make you happy inside
Take you back to your Christmas days as a child
CHORUS
BRIDGE
There’s another side
That you see if you read between all the lines
Not everything glistens bright
And every dream won’t come true this Christmas time
SOLO
The decorations are glowing
The Christmas tree is an old familiar sight
And all the presents below it
Are a message for us to give when we can
CHORUS X 2
Do all that you can, give a bit of yourself
Making Christmas feel right

You’ve gone away, you’re so far away
Sitting here thinking it won’t be long
Til’ it’s Christmastime
Such a holy time
Children will be singing
Old folks will be praying
Walking around hear the Christmas sounds
Bright coloured lights shining in the night
And it’s Christmastime
Such a holy time
Children will be singing
Old folks will be praying
Chorus
But right now, my mind is full of memories
And I can’t find no peace at all
When I should be dancing to the music
At this precious Christmastime
At this holy Christmastime
Some say that riches are all you need
All for the money, the power and greed
At this Christmastime
Such a holy time
Children will be singing
Old folks will be praying
The war starts again, and the news will say
Maybe someday peace will have its day
At this Christmastime
Such a holy time
Children will be singing
Old folks will be praying
Chorus
But right now, my mind is full of memories
And I can’t find no peace at all
When I should be dancing to the music
At this precious Christmastime
At this holy Christmastime
Solo
If we could forget all those things we said
And start here again we could find a way
At this Christmastime
Such a holy time
Children will be singing
Old folks will be praying
Hoping that you will come back to stay
And we can still find a better day
When it’s Christmastime
Such a holy time
Children will be singing
Old folks will be praying
Chorus x 2 - Finish

Following A Star
04:45
|
|||
|
Lost out in the fog
All alone on an empty river
And you can’t recall
How it feels with the ground below you
Keep this ship afloat
When the hope’s all gone
Make it to the shore again
Chorus:
Now you’re following a star
You’ve been battle-worn and weary
Look towards the light to guide you home
If you could turn back all the years
Try to pick up all the pieces
Look towards the light to guide you home
When you can’t go on
And you can’t figure what you’re fighting for
And the race is run
When the spirit and strength is almost gone
Get back to the town
Where you once belonged
A place where you can be as one
Chorus:
Bridge
As the darkness comes and shadows fall around you
voices start to call, and they will find you
Solo
Keep this ship afloat
When the hope’s all gone
Make it to the shore again
Chorus
Look towards the light to guide you home
Look towards the light to guide you home
