The Horizon Calls

[Verse 1]
I remember many years ago,
Seems like 50 years or so.
I would play with my radio
And dream of being in the show.

[Chorus]
Study hard, stay the course,
Keep the dream alive.
I was in awe.
I loved my grandpa.

[Verse 2]
He gave me all the scrap I needed
to build my radio.
He would watch and laugh
as I tried to make it work.

[Chorus]
Study hard, stay the course,
Keep the dream alive.
I was in awe.
I loved my grandpa.

[Verse 3]
I made the knobs from buttons
Put wires everywhere.
Of course it didn't really work
But I didn't care.
I was in awe.
I loved my grandpa.

[Bridge]
He didn't live very long
passed my eighth birthday.  
I never got the chance to say goodbye. 
But I will always remember what he said. 

[Chorus]
Study hard, stay the course,
Keep the dream alive.
I'm still in awe.
I really miss my grandpa.

[Outro]
So here I am today,
Doing the very best I can.
I will stay the course,
And keep my dream alive.

Keeping the Dream Alive

[Chorus]
What am I thinking…I ask sometimes.
I don't know where my mind is today.
Am I  here? Am I there? Where am I?
What's inside my mind.

This mundane world fills my mind
I can't shut it off.
Where will it end?

Am I  here, am I there, where am I?

And dream of where I've been.
I open my eyes to see inside my heart and mind.
My body shakes, my subconscious awakes.

I don't know where my mind is today.
Am I  here, am I there, where am I?

Our subconscious reaches to different planes
Do we know where we will go today?
Do we know if we will come back?

Are you here? Are you there? Where are you?
What's inside your mind?

Am I  here? Am I there? Where am I?

This mundane world fills my mind
I can't shut it off.

And dream of where I've been.
I open my eyes to see inside my heart and mind.
My body shakes, my subconscious awakes.

I don't know where my mind is today.
Am I  here, am I there, where am I?
What's inside my mind.

Our subconscious reaches to different planes
Do we know where we will go today?
Do we know if we will come back?

Are you here? Are you there? Where are you?
What's inside your mind?

Inside my Mind

For you I would walk a thousand miles.
You are my love, you are my life
I am your husband...you are my wife.

We make it work.
It has to be.

An Artist's Soul

Verse 1:
Streetlights start to softly glow
As the day begins to slow
Another week has drifted by
Beneath this warm, inviting sky
Hear the laughter, low and sweet
A perfect end to tired feet
Just beyond the city's sigh
There's a place where worries die

Chorus:
Oh, The Cove, where the good times flow
Crafted brews and wines aglow
Underneath the fading light
Everything just feels so right
With a gentle, summer breeze
Putting every soul at ease
Sunset at The Cove, you see
Is exactly where I want to be

Verse 2:
From IPA to crisp rosé
We sip the hours, drift away
The amber glow, the ruby gleam
Living out a waking dream
Friendly faces, old and new
Sharing stories, honest, true
No rush, no hurry, just the sound
Of happiness all around

Chorus:
Oh, The Cove, where the good times flow
Crafted brews and wines aglow
Underneath the fading light
Everything just feels so right
With a gentle, summer breeze
Putting every soul at ease
Sunset at The Cove, you see
Is exactly where I want to be

Bridge:
Some might chase the city's pace
But I found my tranquil space
Where the rhythm's smooth and slow
And the finest spirits grow
A little slice of paradise
Worth every moment, every price
Just let the worries drift away
And linger 'til the break of day

Chorus:
Oh, The Cove, where the good times flow
Crafted brews and wines aglow
Underneath the fading light
Everything just feels so right
With a gentle, summer breeze
Putting every soul at ease
Sunset at The Cove, you see
Is exactly where I want to be

Outro:
Yeah, at The Cove...
Where the good times flow...
(Instrumental fade with smooth sax or synth pad)
Just another perfect night...
At The Cove...
Mmm, The Cove...
(Fade out)

Sunset at The Cove

[Verse 1]
Alarm on the table, coffee in hand,
Shirts tossed in a pile, laughter before dawn
List of things left behind, nobody seems to care
Sky waking up easy, friends by the door
[Pre-chorus]
Slow walk to the water, breeze on my skin
Everything lighter as the day begins

[Chorus]
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock
Take a breath, let the current take us home
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock
Slipping away, let them fade in the foam
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock

[Verse 2]
Sun climbs, towels slung over our shoulders,
Voices carrying across the blue, gentle and free
Coolers packed, secrets just for us
Nowhere we have to be, time just rolling on

[Pre-chorus]
Shoulders lean together, eyes squint in the light
Simple motions guiding us until night

[Chorus]
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock
Nothing behind us but ripples on the wake
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock
Find our rhythm, laughing as we drift
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock

[Bridge]
Orange sky melting, voices softer now
Salt on lips, sun slipping down
Hands tangled, silent promises between friends,
Hope carried close—nothing else we need

[Breakdown]
[Light percussion, soft harmonies]
Leave your troubles at the dock (leave them at the dock)
Leave your troubles at the dock (oh, oh)
Leave your troubles at the dock

[Chorus]
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock
Hearts open wide, let go as we float
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock (leave them at the dock)
Leave your troubles at the dock

[Outro]
Just drifting, sun on our backs, no plan
Leave your troubles at the dock
Leave your troubles at the dock
[Soft fade]

Leave Your Troubles at the Dock

[Verse 1]
It's been a long road since I wore those boots,
Nights I'd stay awake, the world felt so mute.
I used to stare out at the dark and wait,
Morning came heavy, loaded up with weight.
Wife by my side, your hand in mine,
Helped me hold on when I was losing time.
You made coffee, talked me through the dawn,
Said I'm right here, just keep holding on.

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
I'm not so lost like I was before.

[Verse 2]
I kept it inside, tried not to cry,
You saw it all written clear in my eyes.
Therapy sessions on Tuesday nights,
Learning to let go, finding my fight.
You never turned away, you understood,
You wrapped me up in all the ways you could.
And every time I trembled, every time I swore,
I'll tell you now—

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
I'm not so lost like I was before.

[Rap]
I used to see faces in the corners at dusk,
Woke up shaking, sweat breaking, trusting no one but us.
Phantom sounds in the silence, racing wild through my chest,
You held my shaking hands, told me just to rest.
Therapist said speak it, I'm shaking but I try,
Every word a mountain, asking who, what, and why.
Still holding your hand through the fear and the pain,
You say "look at the sunrise, there's peace after rain."

[Bridge]
It's slow sometimes, but I'm not keeping score,
Even on the hard days, I'm fighting for more.

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
I'm not so lost like I was before.

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
The morning don't scare me no more.

[Outro]
The morning don't scare me no more...
(The morning don't scare me no more)

The Mornings Don't Scare Me

Verse 1:
Morning light, a gentle gleam,
Waking up to an ocean dream.
Friends are gathering, spirits high,
Beneath a vast and endless sky.
Lines are cast, the anchor's free,
Leaving worries on the land, you see.
The engine hums, a steady beat,
Nothing but blue, oh, what a treat.

Chorus:
Oh, we're sailing into the sun,
With good company, the day's begun.
Salt on our lips, wind in our hair,
A perfect moment beyond compare.
Waves are rolling, soft and slow,
Where the good times naturally flow.
Yeah, sailing into the sun,
Our happy journey's just begun.

Verse 2:
The canvas billows, catching the breeze,
Whispering secrets through the air with ease.
A dolphin jumps, a playful sight,
Everything feels perfectly right.
Shared laughter echoes, light and free,
Lost in the rhythm of the deep blue sea.
Glasses clinking, a gentle sound,
The best of friends, all gathered 'round.

Chorus:
Oh, we're sailing into the sun,
With good company, the day's begun.
Salt on our lips, wind in our hair,
A perfect moment beyond compare.
Waves are rolling, soft and slow,
Where the good times naturally flow.
Yeah, sailing into the sun,
Our happy journey's just begun.

Bridge:
No destination, just the ride,
With open hearts and nothing to hide.
These are the moments we hold so dear,
Washing away every doubt and fear.
A timeless feeling, pure and true,
Underneath this endless blue.

Chorus:
Oh, we're sailing into the sun,
With good company, the day's begun.
Salt on our lips, wind in our hair,
A perfect moment beyond compare.
Waves are rolling, soft and slow,
Where the good times naturally flow.
Yeah, sailing into the sun,
Our happy journey's just begun.

Outro:
Sailing, sailing, into the sun...
Oh, the day is long, the fun's not done.
Just the waves and the sky above,
Filled with laughter, friendship, and love.
Sailing into the sun...
Yeah...

Sailing Into the Sun

[Verse 1]
Two in the morning
Sheets pulled up
Room too quiet
Heart won't rest
Hands start trembling
Breath comes quick
Try to hide it
Can you hear?

[Verse 2]
You say my name
Half asleep
Reach for me
Barely wake
Hold me close
"I’m right here"
Soft and warm
Steady voice

[Pre-chorus]
Every night, same fight
Still you stay, don’t let go

[Chorus]
You hold me till the shaking stops
You hold me till the world unlocks

[Verse 3]
Some things linger
Past all days
Old noise returns
Can’t explain
flash in my mind
Eyes shut tight
But you breathe slow
Keeps me safe

[Chorus]
You hold me till the shaking stops
You hold me till the world unlocks

[Solo]
[Bridge]
Sunrise comes gentle
You’re sleeping now
Peace in the morning
Fear lost somehow

[Chorus]
You hold me till the shaking stops
You hold me till I come back

[Outro]
(hold me)
(hold me)

Hold Me

[Verse 1]
Two hands on the wheel
air cool through the open crack
kudzu climbs the mailbox
radio low, voices fade
thigh shakes, brown leather hums
unsharp shoulder, ditches fall away
moon splits the silos
empty field, dog bark far off

[Chorus]
These headlights ain't searchlights no more
roll on gentle, easy as before
stillness lays itself down on this road
your laugh echoes soft from the porch

[Verse 2]
Wind pulls through pine rows
loose gravel snaps underfoot
name stitched on denim, rubbed thin
hospital band cut, left on the dash
you hum old Merle, holding my gaze
firefly slow, I hear you breathing
cotton cuff brushes my wrist
barn roof rusts in silence

[Chorus]
These headlights ain't searchlights no more
roll on gentle, easy as before
stillness lays itself down on this road
your laugh echoes soft from the porch

[Bridge]
you waited through every sunrise
held my night terrors quiet
love threaded back the seams
your hand cupped mine whole

[Verse 3]
Back tire slips on morning dew
porch swing creaks, rhythmic, near
rain’s coming, I taste it, breathless
you scribble, grocery list curls
old screen door lets me home
this time, no startled heart
coffee steams up the window
your arm pulls me in, warm

[Chorus]
These headlights ain't searchlights no more
roll on gentle, easy as before
stillness lays itself down on this road
(your laugh echoes soft from the porch, ooooh)

These Headlights

[Verse 1]
Late Friday pullin’ lines, wind’s got some bite
Sun chips and beers, we laugh, clothes tossed in a pile
It’s you, babe, steering, music up, no need for a watch
Friends pile around, salty hair, just living life

[Pre-chorus]
Bright waves roll, skin warm and free
You point ahead, say that’s where we should be

[Chorus]
(Oh, ooh, la la)
We’re the weekend crew, hard and loose
Sailing out where nothing’s bad and nothing’s new
(La la, hey!)
Leaving all our cares in the rear-view blue
We’re the weekend crew—hell yeah, that’s true!

[Verse 2]
Kiss you, quick, lost a drink, whatever, just laugh
I heard someone shout, damn near lost my hat
Someone grabs the helm, turns us to the sky
Sayin’ “Babe, forget the rules, just sail and try”

[Chorus]
(Oh, ooh, la la)
We’re the weekend crew, hard and loose
Sailing out where nothing’s bad and nothing’s new
(La la, hey!)
Leaving all our cares in that rear-view blue
We’re the weekend crew—hell yeah, that’s true!

[Solo] [saxophone/guitar jams]
[Bridge]
No need for a forecast, we’re sailing all night
You toss me a smile, and everything’s right

[Chorus]
(Oh, ooh, la la)
We’re the weekend crew, come enjoy the view!
Hear us on the wind, love shining through
(La la, oh!)
Hey, baby—this crew is me & you
[Outro]
We’re the weekend crew
Yeah, the weekend crew…

Weekend Crew

[Intro]
Slow breath, silent room
Rain taps on the window, shapes in the gloom
Your footsteps crossing carpet, my name on your lips
I count every second before your hands fit over mine

[Verse 1]
Kitchen lights spilling, I’m stuck at the sink
Spilled coffee, steadying, scared what you’ll think
You slide in behind me, safe and steady arms
Thumb tracing circles, rhythm that calms
I flinch, then I soften, you just hold me tight
You don’t ask questions, you just stand by my side

[Pre-chorus]
Brave face, soft-spoken, steady and sure
You never flinch, you never turn

[Chorus]
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
Every shiver slows, every storm seems small
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours

[Verse 2]
Bedroom at midnight, you smooth tangled sheets
Your laughter’s a lantern, pulling me to my feet
I stumble, you steady, you know just when I need
A gentle word or silence that lets me breathe

[Chorus]
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
(Ohhh—)
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours

[Bridge]
Some nights I falter, fall and fold
Still your voice is the anchor I hold
And I remember, I remember
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours

[Chorus]
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
(Whoa oh—)
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
These hands shake less when they’re holding yours
These hands shake less—when they’re holding yours


These Hands Shake Less

Verse 1:
Sunrise paints our window, another perfect day
With you beside me, chasing shadows far away
I pour the coffee, watch you stir, a gentle, knowing smile
And in that moment, I just wonder for a while

Chorus:
Oh, where have you been all my life, my love?
Like a melody sent from up above
Through all the lonely nights, the winding roads I've known
How did I walk this path, so long, so much alone?
Now you're here, a dream I never dared to chase
Finally found my true and rightful place

Verse 2:
I've seen the world, chased fleeting lights, and thought I understood
The way that happiness could feel, or how a love should
But every memory before, it feels a little dim
Compared to the bright light you bring, right to my very brim
Of joy and peace, a quiet calm, a comfort deep inside
And still, the question lingers, nowhere left to hide

Chorus:
Oh, where have you been all my life, my love?
Like a melody sent from up above
Through all the lonely nights, the winding roads I've known
How did I walk this path, so long, so much alone?
Now you're here, a dream I never dared to chase
Finally found my true and rightful place

Verse 3:
Was it timing, fate's design, a cosmic, slow delay?
Or just two ships that sailed apart, until this very day?
I don't regret the lessons learned, the paths I had to roam
But every moment without you, feels like I wasn't home
Now every sunrise, every sunset, feels complete and true
Because the world makes sense, my darling, when I'm here with you

Bridge:
Maybe some things are meant to bloom, when seasons finally turn
A deeper wisdom we must gain, a lesson we must learn
And though the question softly hums, a whisper in the breeze
The answer's in your gentle touch, that puts my soul at ease
It doesn't matter how or why, or what the past held tight
Just that you're here, my guiding star, my everlasting light

Chorus:
Oh, where have you been all my life, my love?
Like a melody sent from up above
Through all the lonely nights, the winding roads I've known
How did I walk this path, so long, so much alone?
Now you're here, a dream I never dared to chase
Finally found my true and rightful place

Outro:
Yeah, my true and rightful place...
Where have you been... all my life?
(Smooth synth chords and gentle guitar fade out)

Where Have You Been

Verse 1:
Dust on my boots, a map in my hand,
Left footprints on every foreign land.
Sunrise in Tokyo, sunset in Rome,
Never quite found a permanent home.
Each passport stamp, a story to tell,
Of lessons learned, and spells I fell.
Through bustling markets and quiet old towns,
I've worn smiles and shed a few frowns.

Chorus:
Oh, this is the unwritten chapter, the road I still roam,
With a wanderer's heart, I'm never truly alone.
Every horizon calls, a new adventure to find,
I may leave these places, but I never leave memories behind.
Still chasing the wind, with a spirit so free,
This journey's not over, not for me.

Verse 2:
From the Amazon's green to the Arctic's white chill,
Climbed mountains high, stood perfectly still.
Heard ancient whispers in ruins so grand,
Felt the pulse of the world in the palm of my hand.
Shared laughter with strangers, learned languages new,
Drank deep from life's cup, seen dreams come true.
Survived the storms, embraced the calm,
Carrying memories, like a healing balm.

Bridge:
Some might settle, find their peace in one place,
But my soul still yearns for wide-open space.
There's a fire inside, that won't ever fade,
A promise to myself, a life bravely made.
No finish line in sight, no final farewell,
Just the next story waiting, a new tale to tell.

Chorus:
Oh, this is the unwritten chapter, the road I still roam,
With a wanderer's heart, I'm never truly alone.
Every horizon calls, a new adventure to find,
I may leave these places, but I never leave memories behind.
Still chasing the wind, with a spirit so free,
This journey's not over, not for me.

Outro:
Yeah, not for me...
Still alive, still dreaming...
On the open road...

The Unwritten Chapter

Small world spinning, in my window frame
Daily routine, same old same
But in the quiet when I feel alone
Something deeper than these walls of home

And I feel it in the morning light
More than what these eyes can see
Something vast and infinite
Reaching out to me

Every star above knows who I am
(Knows who I am)
Written in the sky by gentle hands
When I'm lost in doubt, God understands
(God understands)
Every breath I take, part of God's plan


Scattered thoughts and
Broken prayers and
Midnight questions
Rising higher
Like smoke signals
Through the darkness
Till they find You
Getting closer

You see me
Through galaxies and time
You know me
Beyond reason and rhyme
You hold me
In Your grand design

Every star above knows who I am
(Knows who I am)
Written in the sky by gentle hands
When I'm lost in doubt, God understands
(God understands)
Every breath I take, part of Your plan

(You see me, You know me)
In every moment, every day
(You see me, You know me)

Fun on the 4th

[Intro]
Met a new friend the other day
She shared with me a story of her life
She is a single mom with a special son named Henry
He'd been touched by an angel and was destined to smile
I had a dream last night that brought me words to a song

[Verse 1]
I see her dancing with Henry in the morning sun
His laughter rings like music as they both move as one
Through every challenge, every setback, every trying day
She finds the strength to guide him in her gentle way
Sometimes I catch her watching as he learns to stand
Each small achievement precious, like pearls in the sand
The world moves fast around her, but she's learned to see
The beauty in the moments that were meant to be

[Chorus]
Dancing in your own time
Moving to a rhythm that's yours to find
Love doesn't need words to shine
You're dancing in your own time

[Verse 2]
The doctors spoke in numbers, charts upon the wall
But they couldn't measure courage, couldn't chart it all
They didn't see the magic in his bright-eyed smile
Or how she taught him patience, mile by gentle mile
She mapped new constellations in her daily prayers
Finding different ways to bridge the distant stars
When others might have faltered, she just held him close
And found the path that mattered, the one that matters most

[Bridge]
And I've learned more from watching her
Than all my years could ever tell
About the depth of mother's love
And how grace can dwell

[Verse 3]
Each milestone's a victory, each day brings something new
The way he looks upon her tells me his love shines true
No textbook could have taught her what her heart just knew
That love speaks in a language only shared by two
And when I see her swaying in her kitchen light
Henry's arms around her, holding oh so tight
I understand that sometimes love's the perfect guide
To dance the steps before us, taking life in stride

[Chorus]
Dancing in your own time
Moving to a rhythm that's yours to find
Love doesn't need words to shine
You're dancing in your own time


Dancing in Your Own Time

(Verse 1)
I woke up this morning
Looking for a new day
Proud to be an American
Always searching for something to say

(Verse 2)
I turned on the TV
Same old stories everywhere
Suddenly it broke 
More hatred in the air

(Chorus)
Didn't want to believe it
The innocent are killed to be set free
It's really sad to say these words
Guess the joke's on me

(Bridge)
Here we are in a country 
Built on love for all
Yes, we have our troubles
But must the innocent have to fall
It doesn't seem fair
Why don't we know right from wrong 
I know we can do better
Why can't we all just get along

(Chorus)
Didn't want to believe it
The innocent are killed to be set free
It's still  sad to say these words
Guess the joke's on me

(Spoken)
I guess the jokes on me


The Joke's on Me

[Verse]
In the darkest night, when all seems lost,
God holds our hands, His love never stops.
Through storms and fears, God's light still shines,
His care endures, always aligns.

[Verse]
In every tear, He's near, His love, forever dear,
An anchor strong, through every fear.
God guides us through, in pain or joy,
His love, the constant, our guiding star.

[Chorus]
Through the storm, God's love endures,
In the darkest night, He's always near.
God's light still shines, through every tear,
His love, forever, our guiding star.

[Bridge]
Through the chaos, He's our peace,
In the silence, God's voice we hear.
With every step, He leads the way,
God's love, the compass, our heart's key.

[Verse]
In the storm's eye, His love remains,
A beacon bright, in every lane.
Through the tears, God holds us close,
His love, the anchor, forever so.

[Chorus]
Through the storm, God's love endures,
In the darkest night, He's always near.
God's light still shines, through every tear,
His love, forever, our guiding star.

[Chorus]
Through the storm, God's love endures,
In the darkest night, He's always near.
God's light still shines, through every tear,
His love, forever, our guiding star.


God's Boundless Love

[Verse 1]
Saturday morning, coffee's brewing strong
Dogs are playing in the kitchen, singing their favorite song
My wife's got that smile that makes everything right
We're planning our weekend; everything's bright
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't need no fancy cars or diamond rings
Just the simple joy that family brings
[Chorus]
We're living the good life, every single day
With the ones we love, there's no other way
Barbecues and birthday parties, memories we make
This is what it's all about, for goodness' sake.
We're living the good life
[Verse 2]
Sunday afternoon, friends are coming by
Swimming in the pool under blue sky
Music playing loud, everyone's in tune
Dancing till the stars come out and light up the moon
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't need no mansion or a yacht to sail
These moments with you make my heart prevail
[Chorus]
We're living the good life, every single day
With the ones we love, there's no other way
Barbecues and birthday parties, memories we make
This is what it's all about, for goodness' sake.
We're living the good life
[Bridge]
Years will pass and things will change
But this feeling will remain
Every laugh and every tear
Makes it crystal clear
[Chorus]
We're living the good life, every single day
With the ones we love, there's no other way
Barbecues and birthday parties, memories we make
This is what it's all about, for goodness' sake.
We're living the good life
[Outro]
Yeah, we're living the good life
(Living the good life)
We're living the good life


Livin the Good Life

[Verse 1]
Old brick walls
Familiar calls
Tom waves me in
Where to begin
Each weekday night
Sets things right
Same corner booth
Time tells the truth

[Pre-chorus]
When work beats us down
We gather 'round

[Chorus]
These are the good times, my friends
Moments we'll treasure 'til the end

[Verse 2]
Quick hello
Hey Jon, we know
Haley's got news
Can't help but choose
To celebrate
Don't hesitate
With raised glass high
Time slips on by

[Pre-chorus]
The world outside fades
In this space we've made

[Chorus]
These are the good times, my friends
Moments we'll treasure 'til the end

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder what we'd be
Without the Cove to set us free
Bills to pay and storms to weather
But here we face it all together

[Verse 3]
Years roll past
Bonds built to last
Kelly's new thing
Makes us all sing
Through thick and thin
We're all still in
This sacred space
Full of grace

[Pre-chorus]
Our home away
At the end of the day

[Chorus]
These are the good times, my friends
These are the good times
Moments we'll treasure 'til the end
We'll treasure these times at the Cove

[Outro]
Old brick walls
Still standing tall
Time tells the truth
We're still in our youth
[Steel guitar fades]

Good Times at the Cove

In a world where the news can be harsh,
I'm calling for more Christmas; let's share.
With a smile, a laugh, a simple embrace,
Let's spread some joy; it's what we need most, oh, yeah.

More Christmas, let's light up the night,
With songs and lights, let’s make it right.
More Christmas, a moment so bright,
To chase away the dark, let’s give it a fight.

Through the cold and through the rain,
We find warmth in the twinkling of a chain.
In the eyes of a child, a glimmer of hope,
In every heart, a Christmas that never departs.

More Christmas, let's break down the walls,
With kindness and love, let's heal the falls.
More Christmas, a season of calls,
To mend our spirits, let's take it all.

In the hustle, in the bustle,
Let's remember the true meaning of the season.
A hug, a song, a gentle squeeze,
In this chaos, let’s make it serene.

More Christmas, let's gather round,
With family and friends, let’s start a sound.
More Christmas, a time to be found,
In the quiet moments, let’s start to sound.

More Christmas, let's spread like a fire,
With every smile, let's clear the dire.
More Christmas, a gift that's worth giving,
In this world, let's keep it alive.


We Need More Christmas
