Build a snowman with the wind at his back
Got the day planned and presents to wrap
Fight the wind chill with all of my friends
'Cause it's Christmas time again
Going downtown and spreading good cheer
Handing gloves out when we volunteer
For the children, grinnin' from ear to ear
Singing Christmas time is here
And everybody's like ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho
Four-wheel driving through the snow
Fighting the cold with some hot cocoa
Grabbing grandma, to the mall we go
And there's a man outside with a bucket and a bell
Wants to go home with a story to tell
And he's reminding us
That his Christmas got nothing to do
With living for himself.
It's the...
[2x]
Light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles, you know it could shine on through
All the good that we do for the people that don't have it so good
Light me up and I'll show you the way
Every year can't wait for Christmas day
Light me up, I finally figured out
What Christmas is all about
Oh oh, oh oh oh
[2x]
Here's a gift card for your new winter coat
'Cause the backyard is covered with snow
And the sleigh rides, they don't cost a cent
Yeah, it's Christmas time again
[2x]
Light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles, you know it could shine on through
All the good that we do for the people that don't have it so good
Light me up and I'll show you the way
Every year can't wait for Christmas day
Light me up, I finally figured out
What Christmas is all about
[2x]
Do you hear the sound?
A thousand angels are singing out
To God Almighty we're bowing down
And that's what Christmas is all about
Light me up and I'll show you the way
Every year can't wait for Christmas day
Light me up, I finally figured out
What Christmas is all about
And everybody's like
[2x]
Light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles, you know it could shine on through
All the good that we do for the people that don't have it so good
Light me up, I finally figured out
What Christmas is all about
(For the people that don't have it so good)
I finally figured out
What Christmas is all about
