[Verse 1]
Brightly coloured paper
Underneath the tree
People turning back to
Find their families
A table on a back porch
A gentle evening breeze
And through a window, lights upon a tree

[Chorus]
And everywhere it's Christmas
And what did you receive?
A visit from a loved one?
A kiss on Christmas Eve?
And somewhere on an altar
A single candlelight
And everywhere it's Christmas day tonight

[Refrain]
Orana to Christmas day
Orana to Christmas day
Orana to Christmas day tonight

[Verse 2]
A child is singing carols
On someone's radio
A letter from a lost friend
From long, long ago
Somebody is sitting
In a room alone
Remembering old Christmas days at home
[Chorus]
And everywhere it's Christmas
And what did you receive?
A visit from a loved one?
A kiss on Christmas Eve?
And somewhere on an altar
A single candlelight
And everywhere it's Christmas day tonight

[Refrain]
Orana to Christmas day
Orana to Christmas day
Orana to Christmas day tonight
Orana to Christmas day
Orana to Christmas day
Orana to Christmas day tonight
