Christmas coloured morning
red bags and silver tags and we’re all glad to be
Gathered in the same house
Sleeping when it’s cold outside

Here we are together
glass of red and breaking bread, overfed and feeding
The simple conversation
Relating with relations awhile
an overrated New Year, our promises put on trial

Oh come ye faithful, hopeful children
No one here is blameless, no one else can take this
guilt and burden turn it into
Kindness that compels us, someone else could us
how to trust

Searching for the switches
to ignite electrics; it wavers, it flickers
and with a flick you unstick the stubborn night
The darkness that still lingers
You fingers finger for the light

Oh come ye faithful, hopeful children
No one here is blameless, no one else can take this
guilt and burden turn it into
Kindness that compels us, someone else could us
how to trust

Stillness with the sunrise
All alone and still unknown your phone won’t be
Shattering the silence
It’s pricessless this perfect peace
And butter on your breakfast can’t replace the things you need

Oh come ye faithful, hopeful children
No one here is blameless, no one else can take this
guilt and burden turn it into
Kindness that compels us, someone else could us
how to trust
