lyrics
Through the muck and through the strife
It’s easy to forget the beautiful things in life
When times get tough, troubles keep on piling
It's awful hard to find a way to keep on smiling
Light speed us along
Voice give us song
Heart hold us together
As we move through this together
Don’t forget the smile of a child
The soft sound of snow
The ray of light your life shines on all you know
Don’t succumb
Because the dark can’t destroy all the good that you have done
Light speed us along
Voice give us song
Heart hold us together
As we move through this together
Celebrate the spirit of the season
Let love and hope be your reason
Let love and hope be your reason
I close my eyes and feel the warmth of good cheer
I open my heart to the world, and the holidays are here
Evil is out there, we can’t deny
But I’ll be the wings, the wings that help you fly
Light speed us along
Voice give us song
Heart hold us together
As we move through this together
