Theres a hand old and rough
And its holding on
To one whos new and small
Whose life has just begun
Hand in hand
Young and old
Calm each others fear
Christmas is almost here

Theres a rocky road ahead
Two people walk alone
Wondering in the fading light
If they can find their home
When hope is almost gone
A distant light appears
Christmas is almost here

Almost here for those in doubt
For those who must remain
Left behind when love grows cold
When shifting life brings change
Almost here for dreamers
Who think that theres a chance
They can find their music
And a partner for the dance

Theres a dream it doesnt die
People live as one
Justice has a gentle hand
And love is like the sun
The darkest night has passed
And by the stars we steer
Christmas is almost here
