This Holiday

The icicles forming around the edge of your house
Compliment how you feel this time of your
When so much of the world’s caught up in frivolous joy
The rest and you can’t wait for it to end
Oh but this holiday you will laugh and not cry
I don’t know the reason why, but I know it
And your seasonal sadness you’ll release from your hold
For I know that you want to believe
I know the decorative lights hold no more magic for you
And the beauty of snow reminds you you’re alone
Somewhere in the night you hear some children singing
A touch of loveliness in the pain of remembering
Oh but this holiday you will laugh and not cry
I don’t know the reason why, but I know it
And your seasonal walls you will let tumble down
For I know that you want to believe
Friends they will call and remember you
Smiles you’ll realize are for you
And your eyes waking up to the life and the love
That is read and waiting to be renewed
Oh but this holiday you will laugh and not cry
I don’t know the reason why, but I know it
And the hope that you seek will find its way to you
For I know that you want to believe
