[intro - spoken softly] This year hit different. We lost, we learned, we loved harder. But somehow... the lights still came on. And that means something. [verse 1] Snow fallin' slow on the windowpane, Memories whisper your name. Empty chair at the table, still feels the same, But love don't leave, it just changes its frame. Mama's laughin', the candles glow, Tryin' to find joy in the undertow. Every tear that falls got a story to show, Walt, I still feel you in the afterglow. [hook - choir] Christmas still came, even through the rain, Even through the pain, that joy remains. Angels in the sky sing your name, We made it through the storm — Christmas still came. [verse 2] We wrapped our grief up under the tree, Prayed for peace and harmony. Told the babies, "That's what family means," It's love that keeps the heart from freezin'. The laughter echoes from years gone by, Photos hang where the angels fly. And though your wings reached past the sky, Your spirit's home when the choir cries. [bridge - soulful build] Hold on, hold on, love's not gone. The lights still shine when the pain feels strong. Faith carries us through this song, We'll keep singin' all season long. [hook 2 - call & response] (Leader) Christmas still came — (Choir) Yes it did, yes it did! (Leader) Through the tears and rain — (Choir) Joy remains, joy remains! (Leader) Heaven called your name — (Choir) But love stayed here the same! [outro - spoken] For everyone who’s missin’ somebody this season... remember: you still made it here. You still got breath, and that means purpose. So from me and mine, to you and yours — this is RedTalk Legacy, where love don’t die — it just finds another way to shine. Merry Christmas, y’all.
