Christmas Is Light

The night arrives so softly And the world begins to breathe There's a quiet kind of warmness That reminds us what we've lived It's not only decorations Or the winter in the air It's the people that we treasure And the ones still waiting there The streets are filled with color But a different light appears The glow of honest kindness Of the hands that pull us near It doesn't take relation Or the blood that wrote our name Sometimes the truest family Is the one that chooses you again And through all our differences There's a thread that holds us tight We are stories intertwined We are comfort in the night Christmas is light When we open up our hearts to love When we honor every person Who has walked beside us once Christmas is hope In a gentle, warm embrace And the wish that every soul Finds a home, a safer place May this season gently guide us To the ones we're meant to meet May we welcome every stranger As a chance to plant new peace Let's protect the things that matter Let's remember how to give Let's become the kind of people Who help others learn to live And if time pulls us apart May our care lead us back home Let the door remain wide open For the hearts that walk alone Christmas is light When we open up our hearts to love When we honor every person Who has walked beside us once Christmas is hope In a gentle, warm embrace And the wish that every soul Finds a home, a safer place There are families made of blood And the ones life sends our way What you call them doesn't matter When their love is here to stay And the world may rush around us But together we grow strong For the moment we share kindness We become where we belong Christmas is light Shining softly when we choose to care Guiding every step we take Toward the love we want to share Christmas is peace When we open up our hearts And it whispers something gentle Hope was always ours to start Christmas is light And when you share it It comes back to you again
