This Christmas Day

So, tell me Christmas 
Are we wise 
To believe in things we never see 
Are prayers just wishes in disguise 
And are these wishes being granted me 
For now I see 
The answering 
To every prayer I've prayed 

She's coming home this 
Christmas Day 

So tell me Christmas 
Are we kind 
More this day than any other day 
Or is it only in our mind 
And must it leave when you have gone away 
It's different now 
It's changed somehow 
And now you're here to stay 

She's coming home this Christmas Day 
All at once the world 
It doesn't seem the same 
And in a single night 
You know it all has changed 
And everything is now as it should be 

I have the ornament 
I have the perfect tree 
I have a string of lights 
I have a chance to see 
Everything that my heart thought could be 

For of all the dreams 
You were the first I knew 
And every other one 
Was a charade of you 
You stayed close when I was far away 

In the darkest night 
You always were the star 
You always took us in 
No matter who we are 
And so she's coming home this 
Christmas Day 

So the girl had reached her home 
And the bar was closing down 
As the angel started back 
To bring his Lord what he had found
