lyrics

I believe in Christmas
There came a ghost of Christmas past
by my hand it leaded me
in dreams a spirit was invoked
Saw the world as it ought to be
disillusioned disenchanted,
come back as seeds we planted
feel the spirits oh so strong
Their Souls are never gone
if we could heal the ones we wronged
feel they don't belong
bittersweet through holy tears
bring us closer though far and near

I believe in Christmas
I’ve heard it said that mankind is our business
the peace that comes from our sweet forgiveness
That’s why I still believe in Christmas

When Reindeer defy gravity
Were not the miracles I found
Comes down to reality
when peace on earth is found
Where love rules over fantasy
In this sweet little hallowed ground
What matters not what divides us
When the light burns so brightly Inside us
So I wish you joy and peace
Maybe it could be within our reach
as it was in ages past, we’ll be wiser and kinder at last
Chorus

Maybe a bit more wiser
Than I was back in my youth
And If there is a ghost of Christmas past
Show me, show me the light of truth the light of truth

Chorus
