This Is Christmas (All of Us)

Hey—turn it up, turn it up…

Tonight we’re home.

Snow on the roof and a fire in the grate,

Kids running circles, they can’t even wait.

Cocoa in cups and cinnamon in the air,

Hugs in the hallway like “I’m so glad you’re here.”

Grandma’s laughing, Dad claps on the beat,

Mom’s in the kitchen dancing in her socks and feet.

Lights on the tree like a thousand small suns—

This is the night where the whole year comes undone.

No perfect lines, no perfect show,

Just hearts that finally let it glow.

If you’re tired, come closer, come near—

We’re turning the weight into cheer.

This is Christmas—sing it out loud,

Hands in the air with the whole damn crowd.

We’re together, and that’s enough,

Love in the room like a storm of stuff.

Oh-oh-oh, let the bells go wild,

Watch the grown-ups turn back to a child.

This is Christmas—feel it, believe it,

Hold on tight… we’re alive this evening.

Hey! Hey! Sparkle and shine—

Hey! Hey! Your hand in mine—

Hey! Hey! One heart, one song—

This is where we belong.

Wrapping paper like snowdrifts on the floor,

Somebody’s losing at games, yelling “one round more!”

Off-key carols, but we mean every word,

Little kids shouting the parts they’ve never heard.

Old stories told, new memories born,

A table so full it can’t help but warm.

We don’t need perfect, we don’t need new—

The best gift tonight is me next to you.

If your year was rough, bring it in,

Let the lights drown out where you’ve been.

We’ll raise a toast to the ones we miss—

And still choose joy in the middle of this.

This is Christmas—sing it out loud,

Hands in the air with the whole damn crowd.

We’re together, and that’s enough,

Love in the room like a storm of stuff.

Oh-oh-oh, let the bells go wild,

Watch the grown-ups turn back to a child.

This is Christmas—feel it, believe it,

Hold on tight… we’re alive this evening.

[Bridge] (half-time, then build)

And if somebody out there feels alone,

Leave the porch light on—make it home.

There’s always one more seat at the table,

One more “come in,” if you’re willing and able.

’Cause joy gets louder when it’s shared—

A world gets softer when somebody cared.

[Final Chorus] (biggest)

This is Christmas—lift it up high,

Let the whole street hear our hearts collide.

We’re together, and that’s enough,

Love in the room and it’s blowing us up.

Oh-oh-oh, let the bells go wild,

Let the night make a family out of every child.

This is Christmas—feel it, believe it,

Hold on tight… we’re alive this evening.

Turn it down, hold ‘em close…

Same love, same light—

Merry Christmas tonight.
