A Hard Year's Christmas

Have you been waiting?
Have you been holding your breath?
A hard year's behind us
And God only knows what comes next
Anticipation
What used to thrill and delight
Now feels like the dark
Like the ache of that silent night

Hear angels carol on
They sing of peace and joy
So now let's lean in close
And listen
'Cause just like that manger holds
A holy breath of hope
We all are heaven's home
To live in

So give into wonder and give into rest
We only have so many Christmases left
Mmh

Look to the children
Look how they love to believe
I wanna be like them
And I don't see why I can't be
If ever a season
Can break our darkness with light
It's the one where the weary rejoice
On that silent night

Hear angels carol on
They sing of peace and joy
Now let's lean in close
And listen
Just like that manger holds
That live in breath of home
We all are heaven's home
To live in

Give into wonder and give into rest
We only have so many Christmases left
Mmh

Sing with the angels
Sing with the angels
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
We only have so many Christmases left
