| [00:05.40] |
The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves |
| [00:13.61] |
All warm-blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe |
| [00:21.58] |
Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees |
| [00:29.45] |
Christmas lights tangle in knots annually |
| [00:36.05] |
Our families huddle closely |
| [00:39.96] |
Betting warmth against the cold |
| [00:43.09] |
But our bruises seem to surface |
| [00:46.95] |
Like mud beneath the snow |
| [00:50.80] |
So we sing carols softly, as sweet as we know |
| [00:58.58] |
A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go |
| [01:05.49] |
Like young love still waiting under mistletoe |
| [01:12.75] |
We'll welcome december with tireless hope |
| [01:18.64] |
Let our bells keep on ringing |
| [01:21.87] |
Making angels in the snow |
| [01:25.12] |
May the melody disarm us |
| [01:28.77] |
When the cracks begin to show |
| [01:31.88] |
Like the petals in our pockets |
| [01:35.13] |
May we remember who we are |
| [01:38.12] |
Unconditionally cared for |
| [01:41.57] |
By those who share our broken hearts |
| [01:48.88] |
The table is set and our glasses are full |
| [01:55.41] |
Though pieces go missing, may we still feel whole |
| [02:02.02] |
We'll build new traditions in place of the old |
| [02:09.94] |
'Cause life without revision will silence our souls |
| [02:16.06] |
So let the bells keep on ringing |
| [02:19.21] |
Making angels in the snow |
| [02:22.43] |
May the melody surround us |
| [02:25.68] |
When the cracks begin to show |
| [02:28.99] |
Like the petals in our pockets |
| [02:32.27] |
May we remember who we are |
| [02:35.31] |
Unconditionally cared for |
| [02:38.69] |
By those who share our broken hearts |
| [02:46.24] |
As gentle as feathers, the snow piles high |
| [02:53.27] |
Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time |
| [02:59.98] |
Like fresh plates and clean slates, our future is white |
| [03:07.69] |
New year's resolutions will reset tonight |
