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
We need a merry Christmas
It's been such a hard year
The only thing we're wishing
Is a happy new year
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
We need a merry Christmas
It's been such a hard year
The only thing we're wishing
Is a happy new year
And some holiday cheer
We just wanna be near
