Snow is falling, but the streets don't move
Red brake lights shining in a holiday groove
Radio's playing "Joy to the World"
But I'm stuck in traffic, patience unfurled
Parking lots are full, horns start to blare
Shoppers rushing like they don't care
Tinsel fights in aisle number three
Is this really what Christmas was meant to be?
Through it all, the season's spirit shines
Even when we're left standing in long checkout lines
Through the traffic, and the rude checkout girl that night...
The season's glow makes it all alright
No matter the chaos, how big or how small
Love's the reason, we get through it all!
Shopping carts collide, as elbows fly
People racing over there with that wild-eyed cry
The shelves are bare where the toys should be
I laugh and grab some cocoa for me
But then I hear a child's sweet song
Carols drifting as folks hum along
And suddenly the corporate madness fades
Hope is stronger than the mess we made!
Through it all, the season's spirit shines
Even when we're left standing in long checkout lines
Through the traffic, and the rude checkout girl that night...
The season's glow makes it all alright
No matter the chaos, how big or how small
Love's the reason, we get through it all!
Christmas lights glisten on every street
Strangers smile and wave "hello" when our eyes meet
We're all just trying to give our best
To show love in our hearts is the first gift
Through it all, the season's spirit shines
Even when we're left standing in long checkout lines
Through the traffic, and the rude checkout girl that night...
The season's glow makes it all alright
No matter the chaos, how big or how small
Love's the reason, we get through it all!
Through it all, the Christmas spirit's near
Peace and laughter always conquer fear
Through the madness, the never-ending crush
Eternal Christmas magic always gives its touch
No matter the chaos, how big or how small
Love's the reason, we get through it all!
So let the bells ring, greet the carolers call
Merry Christmas... to one and all
