lyrics

Christmastime again is here
This happens every year
Do the motions like we practiced
I’ve come to see my baby actress
Paper snowflakes on the door
Like you’ve been here before
When you run out in the snow
Say “I love you” twice before you go

My first role was, baby Jesus
Had no lines but, didn’t cry much
Now I’m older: I’ll be Joseph
Beg the teacher, for my moment
Had a crush on Mother Mary
All we did was stare at the baby
While the angels sang around us:
“Hallelujah, God has found us.
Hallelujah, God is with us.
Hallelujah, God forgives us.
Hallelujah, God surrounds us.
Hallelujah, God has found us.”

Christmastime again is here
Where do you get your cheer?
You won’t believe what Mary said:
Santa Claus lives in your head
She’s had a tree since Halloween
We put ours up on Christmas Eve
Ritual’s always the same
Sit in quiet darkness in Jesus’ name
