lyrics

It's Christmas!

Let go of all your sadness
Put aside all your fears
Let go of all concern
Because it's Christmas!

Don't worry 'bout the weather
Don't think about finance
Don't talk about politics
Because it's Christmas!

Last Christmas has become this Christmas
And this Christmas is happening, right here, right now

It's Christmas...

Give me reindeer, give me Santa
Bring on that festive propaganda.
Thank more thanks and give forgiveness,
Now we're all embracing Christmas.

All I want is for everyone to feel love and things to be right in the world.

Christmas dreams come true.
Christmas dreams come true.
Christmas dreams come true.
Christmas dreams come true...
When I was young, I got a walking, talking doll (I was seven)
She became my best friend (I was in heaven)
And I felt like I couldn't be happier.
Now I know that the gifts I received are all gone (they're all gone)
Just like us, all the presents must end (we'll be gone)
But there's no reason we still can't be happier.

I used to think my goodness was set and defined by the price on the tag.
But now I know I can always be better, and with the good I can accept bad.
Where I once had games and toys, I'll trade little sorrows for little joys.
Where I once had games and toys, I'll trade little sorrows for little joys,
and live a little more.

Come on, spread Christmas cheer!
Because it is that time of year!
Put some bells on it!
Put a star on it!
Put some smiles on it, because it's Christmas!

Woah! Sing it loud and clear (it's Christmas!)
Woah! Because it is that time of year... (It's Christmas!)
to say what's in your heart.

It's never too late to say you're sorry.
It's never too late to ask for forgiveness.
It's never too late to give your thanks.
It's never too late to offer help.
It's never too late to start anew.
It's never too late to spread some love.
It's never too late to find some Christmas joy.
It's never too late to love someone.

Next Christmas will become this Christmas, but for now Christmas is with us, right here, right now
Let's cheer - hey! - and how lovely it will be to celebrate because it's Christmas!

Hey!

Jump around gaily
Make some more gravy
Don't say maybe
Let's go crazy
for Christmas...

But don't forget to rest.
Don't hurt yourself.
Take care of yourself and others.

Then let's go!

Dance to your own Christmas tune.
Cos Christmas means whatever you want it to.
Christmas is for everyone and that means you.
So do it your own way and don't let anyone take that away from you.

So dance if you want
Be quiet if you want
Pray if you want
See people if you want
Be alone if you want
Go to bed if you want
Cos it's Christmas!
Watch Elf if you want
Or don't if you don't
Stay home if you want
Go out if you want
Sing it loud if you want
Be proud if you want
Cos it's Christmas!

Christmas, it's Christmas!
Christmas, it's Christmas!
Christmas, it's Christmas!
Christmas, it's Christmas!

Sing as though our music is forever
Dance like it's the only way to move
Live as though we're making our own meaning
And love as though that's all we have to do
