[Verse 1] This year, Christmas finds me far from home, A date I wished for, one I didn't know Would come with so much distance in between The place I love and where I have to be. [Verse 2] The house is getting ready for the snow, And I can picture every room I know. I may not wake beneath that roof this year, But what we built still travels with me here. [Pre-Chorus] We'll celebrate before the season turns, Hold close the little things that still are ours. I know it may be strange, I know we'll ache, But there's a kindness in the time we take. [Chorus] Christmas in my home is changing now, But love can find me anyhow. I'll carry every voice and every door, The parts of home I can't leave on the floor. And if the road is longer than I planned, I'll meet the morning, one day at a time. [Verse 3] I pray for strength to stay and make things right, To trust the steady courage in my life. I've faced hard days before; I know that part, The stubborn, living courage in my heart. [Pre-Chorus] I may be on my own for a little while, Still I can keep a place for hope and smile. I'll hold on to the person I have been, And make room for the day I feel like me again. [Chorus] Christmas in my home is changing now, But love can find me anyhow. I'll carry every voice and every door, The parts of home I can't leave on the floor. And if the road is longer than I planned, I'll meet the morning, one day at a time. [Bridge] And if I have to start somewhere anew, Let there be one kind face, one hand to hold. Let me be safe, let me feel less alone, A toast at New Year's, somewhere warm and close. [Final Chorus] Christmas in my heart is with me still, A quiet light no distance can undo. I'll carry every voice and every door, And find a way to make a home once more. Whatever waits beyond this turning year, I'll take it step by step, with love still near. [Outro] I'll take it step by step, With love still near.
