[Verse 1] Snow outside the window, quiet on the street Empty chairs at tables where the past still meets Didn’t come from picture frames or stories told But from hands that found me when the nights were cold [Pre-Chorus] We didn’t need the perfect tree Or ribbons tied in symmetry Just laughter in the cracks And a reason to come back [Chorus] We made our own Christmas Out of broken years Turned “almost” into family Turned scars into cheers No gold, no silver Just love in the room We made our own Christmas And it finally feels like home [Verse 2] Lights are mismatched, songs a little loud Burned dinner, still we’re laughing it out Some of us came from nowhere safe Some of us stayed, some learned to wait [Pre-Chorus] We stitched together what we found Built a hearth from solid ground Not perfect, but it’s real And it’s something we can feel [Chorus] We made our own Christmas Out of broken years Turned “almost” into family Turned scars into cheers No gold, no silver Just love in the room We made our own Christmas And it finally feels like home [Bridge] If you’re out there wondering Where you’re supposed to be Maybe home’s not where you started Maybe home is who believes Hands around the table Names we chose ourselves No one left behind tonight [Final Chorus] We made our own Christmas Let the past stay outside Found joy in the moment Found truth in the try No crowns, no angels Just hearts breaking through We made our own Christmas And I’m here because of you [Outro] If you don’t have a place to go You’re welcome here tonight We made our own Christmas In borrowed lights
