Dream Again

When I was a child,
the nights would fall
And Christmas came with a sacred call
The same old pattern,
year by year
Yet wonder grew,
not fading here

The table set,
the family near
A gentle bell we longed to hear

Naive and bright,
those glowing eyes
Believing gifts came from the skies
Our parents’ hands,
their tender art
Let children dream with open hearts

Dream again, believe again!

The tree adorned with lights that burned
Wrapped-up secrets,
lessons learned
We thought the Christ Child placed them there
While love was hidden everywhere

Tradition held,
it made us strong
The same old ways,
a timeless song

Naive and bright,
those glowing eyes
Believing gifts came from the skies
Our parents’ hands,
their tender art
Let children dream with open hearts

How sweet it was,
how pure,
how true
The gift was love they gave to you

Dream again, believe again!

Naive and bright,
those glowing eyes
Believing still in soft goodbyes
The world may change,
the years depart
But Christmas lives inside the heart
