[Verse 1]
Old ties grow tight, we’re still connected
All trains lead home to where we started
The blanket of the night, the fires burning bright

[Chorus]
When I woke my body spoke of dreams beyond my thinking
How I flew up through the streets then hovered ‘bove the ocean
I felt the cold, I heard the songs, I shivered with emotion
As lights came on all over town I knew that it was Christmas day

[Verse 2]
I’ll sail back home, the place we gather
I hear those bells, they ring around us
The blanket of the night, the fires burning bright

[Chorus]
When I woke my body spoke of dreams beyond my thinking
How I flew up through the streets then hovered ‘bove the ocean
I felt the cold, I heard the songs, I shivered with emotion
As lights came on all over town I knew that it was Christmas day

[Outro]
Wake up, wake up it’s starting
Wake up, wake up it’s starting again
Sing up, sing up it’s starting
Sing up, sing up it’s Christmas again
