The wounds, under your skin
Shine a light on the fight you can’t win
With your guns and your weapons
To the enemy, you come second.
Try as you might, give it your all
Beaten down, you still stand tall
But that’s enough, the fight is rough,
You can’t win a war just with luck.
And I’m waiting, waiting,
To grant you your wish,
This Christmastime, the candle burns,
It’s held in your hands, the whole world turns.
If I could cast a miracle,
I’d give you all you ask
This winter night
In the light that you bask
I’d give you everything
And all the rest
But here I stand, empty now,
Useless and hopeless.
In the hollows of the waking day,
I’m the love that you need
And here we pray
Yet the wreath is laid.
Here you are, the seasons are wild,
Let them face your inner child.
Stubborn and strong, you won’t give up
Steadfast heart, you hold onto love.
With the wake of the day, you face the storm
Cold and dark, yet your heart’s still warm
Chasing the wind, chase it away
Moving on to see the next day.
And I’m waiting, waiting,
To grant you your wish,
This Christmastime, the candle burns,
It’s held in your hands, the whole world turns.
If I could cast a miracle,
I’d give you all you ask
This winter night
In the light that you bask
I’d give you everything
And all the rest
But here I stand, empty now,
Useless and hopeless.
In the hollows of the waking day,
I’m the love that you need
And here we pray
Yet the wreath is laid.
I hold up my hands
I know I’ve done all that I can.
There’s not much more left to say
Except I hope to say that you’ll be back soon,
Back to me one day.
If I could cast a miracle,
I’d give you all you ask
This winter night
In the light that you bask
I’d give you everything
And all the rest
But here I stand, empty now,
Useless and hopeless.
In the hollows of the waking day,
I’m the love that you need
And here we pray
Yet the wreath is laid.
