**[Verse 1]** Lights in the window, snow on the street Radio plays while the world takes a seat People smiling like it’s something new But I’ve seen this feeling break right through We hang our hopes on a month and a day Say “peace on earth” then we pack it away When the wrapping paper hits the floor We forget what we were singing for **[Pre-Chorus]** If love had a season, it’d never survive If kindness was fragile, we’d lose it alive **[Chorus]** hey (hey) hey! I don’t want Christmas just once a year When the world feels close and the truth feels clear It ain’t just presents or what’s under the tree It’s good will, peace, and humanity If it’s real, it can’t be gone I want Christmas all year long **[Verse 2]** Candles glowing, choirs sing But silence falls when the bells don’t ring January comes like a slammed front door Same old fights, same old wars We say “love thy neighbor” with crossed fingers tight Then we turn our backs in the cold daylight If hope is more than a holiday song Why does it only last so long? **[Pre-Chorus]** If faith means something, let it show In every heart, in every road **[Chorus]** hey (hey) hey I don’t want Christmas just once a year When the world feels close and the truth feels clear It ain’t just presents or what’s under the tree It’s good will, peace, and humanity If it’s real, it can’t be gone I want Christmas all year long **[Bridge]** *(Breakdown → Build)* No halos, no holy night Just hands reaching in the fight No ribbon, no silver bell Just choosing love when it’s hard as hell Let mercy live past New Year’s Day Let forgiveness find a way **[Guitar Solo]** **[Final Chorus]** hey (hey) hey I don’t want Christmas just once a year I want it loud, I want it here Not in a box, not in a song But in how we prove each other wrong If peace is more than words we say Let’s live it out in every way If hope is where we all belong I want Christmas all year long **[Outro]** When the lights come down and the season’s gone I’ll still believe, I’ll still hold on No matter how dark the world feels strong I want Christmas all year long yeah, all year long Christmas all year long
