WE NEED A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Another year has come and gone again
But there’s a different feeling lingering
Hoping for respite from this storm
A lighthouse shining from the shore

We need a merry Christmas
It’s been such a hard year
The only thing we’re wishing
is a happy new year

Everything feels so divided
When did everyone stop trying?
Been holding on to hope so fast
It’s choking out present and past

I wish that we could all be close
I sure could use a hug or toast
Let’s cheers to the hope of next year
The peace and joy that we all crave
Will be restored at least I pray

PUT A COAT ON (feat. Cory Taylor Cox)

The family is together for right now
We gather round the table our heads bowed
We take a couple seconds to recognize the presence
We open up to bring the inside out

The weather’s getting colder; I can’t feel
My fingers or my toes anything real
I pour a cup of cider to make it all feel lighter
Here’s to living on another year

Put a coat on

Take the stockings down happy new year
The shopping mall Santa hangs up his beard
The seasons start to change, but some things stay the same
The cold never completely disappears

Put a coat on

BABY JESUS

Born in a manger full of hay
Except I think it was a cave
Full of animal excrement
Although the situation
nowhere near perfection
The humbling gift heaven-sent

What do you see?
When the lights shimmer in the trees

Ooh Baby Jesus
Happy birthday and Merry Christmas

The sky above was inky black
Besides a star lighting a path
For those searching for a hope
The son of God was just a babe
A newborn child brought to convey
The promise of new life

What do you see?
In the colors of red and green’

Baby Jesus: you’re the reason for the Christmas spirit, baby Jesus

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS BOO

Santa you can leave your bag
None of those things will last
I’ll probably end up losing them and someday they will turn to dust

I don’t want a shiny yo-yo
Or a car with a remote controller
There is really only one thing I want

For this Christmas, I don’t want any presents
I don’t want anyone else, I just want boo

Santa you can leave my stocking empty
I will even bake you extra cookies
But probably just a salad because you’re looking pretty fat
I will even trade my metal music
Or my piano (yeah I hardly use it)
There is really only one thing that I want

I just want my boo
I want boo

WE’LL HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS

And it’s been way too long
Since I’ve come back home
Can’t wait to see all of my friends
And my parents again

Hope my brother and sister come down
And my crew’s back in town
Hope they don’t stay overseas
They know where I want them to be

We’ll have a happy Christmas

We’ll have a happy Christmas
Only if you’re here with us
It won’t be quite as special
Without our friends to cherish

We’re wearing our warmest clothes
To stay out of the cold
But you will still find us outside
Huddled around the fire

We’ll deck the halls with bright lights
But there’s something missing from sight
Without our best friends present
It’s like an empty present
