about
This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. I was trying to channel the Ron Sexsmith xmas songs, and I don't think I did too bad of a job. I don't know if I could write a song as pretty as this at this point in my life, but I really like the message of this song. We don't need more crap, we need love from each other. And ourselves.
lyrics
May each bell that sounds lift up a heart that's been weighed down.
Let them be found ringing out life from the cold.
Many our hearts are to mend but
Still come these longs nights when our hours are spent
Hoping this Christmastime will come right where we are.
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
But me and my friends would rather be set free.
My friend its not only about what we've lost,
But the grief in our hearts fights hard for its turn to be heard.
But if just for this time, let us surrender our pride
And not long for anything but peace in our hearts.
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
But me and my friends would rather be set free.
How white is the snow until everyone goes outside!
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
Or wander downtown to the fountain
Where the brightest lights keep the ice from freezing.
Still the bells keep on ringing though its ten below, Christmas Eve,
May we finally be set free.
Let them be found ringing out life from the cold.
Many our hearts are to mend but
Still come these longs nights when our hours are spent
Hoping this Christmastime will come right where we are.
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
But me and my friends would rather be set free.
My friend its not only about what we've lost,
But the grief in our hearts fights hard for its turn to be heard.
But if just for this time, let us surrender our pride
And not long for anything but peace in our hearts.
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
But me and my friends would rather be set free.
How white is the snow until everyone goes outside!
Maybe we'll find an answer wrapped inside a box under the tree,
Or wander downtown to the fountain
Where the brightest lights keep the ice from freezing.
Still the bells keep on ringing though its ten below, Christmas Eve,
May we finally be set free.
