Third Day's 'Christmas Like A Child' is a reflective song about rediscovering the childlike wonder and joy of Christmas. The narrator expresses a longing to recapture the simplicity and awe of the holiday, which has felt empty for a while. The song recalls nostalgic scenes of snow, family, and singing carols, but ultimately centers on the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus, the infant King and Savior. It emphasizes that the season's joy comes not from external trappings but from remembering the birth of Christ and joining angels in praise. The song encourages a return to faith and wonder, celebrating the gift of salvation.

I want to feel Christmas, how it used to be
With all of its wonder falling on me
This season has felt so empty, oh for quite a while
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to see snowflakes fall to the ground
My brothers and sisters all gathered around
Singing "Away In A Manger" as we sit by the fire
I want to feel Christmas like a child
It's been so long now, I can't say
Just when I lost my way
But I'm going back to how it was (like a child)
When this day meant everything
And we spent our time remembering
The baby Child born for us
It's all about Jesus, asleep in the straw
This infant, this King, this Savior for all
So I don't need bells to be ringing
'Cause I'll join with angels singing
Gloria
And I can feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child...
