Merry Christmas, My Beautiful People (For your Consideration Version)

The old church glows like heaven in the winter evening haze
Strangers stand beside each other, joined in timeless hymns of praise

[Pre-Hook]

And for a little while, the world remembers how to care
There’s room enough for everyone, a little love to spare

[Chorus]

Oh, it’s the most beautiful time of the year
When the ones we love are finally here
Raise a glass to the hearts that survived
To another December, another sunrise

Let the bells ring out, let the whole world sing
Let the weary find peace in the joy we bring
Though the night may be cold, there’s a light shining through
Merry Christmas, my love, I’m alive here with you

[Verse 2]

Mama’s setting places, cousins laughing in the hall
Old familiar stories make the youngest voices recall
Choirs fill the rafters, candlelight adorns the pews
Every hand extended says there’s still a world to choose

Somewhere, wars are raging underneath the same night sky
Still, a child makes a wish and watches stars go drifting by

Someday…

[Pre-Hook]

And for a little while, let our differences disappear
No stranger, no forgotten soul, no one should stand alone out here

[Chorus]

Oh, it’s the most beautiful time of the year
When the ones we love are finally here
Raise a glass to the hearts that survived
To another December, another sunrise

[Bridge — Warm Soul Choir, Building to a Joyful Finale]

For every door that opens wide
For every soul brought back inside
For those we’ve lost, we hold them near
Their love still lives this time of year

And when the midnight gives way to dawn
We’ll greet a new year and carry on
No promise that the world will change overnight
Just a million small hearts choosing to be kind

Tonight

[Final Chorus — Full Choir, Bells & Brass]

Oh, it’s the most beautiful time of the year
When the ones we love are finally here
Raise a glass to the hearts that survived
To another December, another sunrise

Merry Christmas, my love,
Happy New Year to you.
