New Paragraph
Lyrics:
Can you feel it?
There’s a magic in the air
All the love that we’ve got we share
With our families and friends
It’s getting closer and closer
But for some
More than for others
It can be hard
So take our hand
This year I’m gonna be right here
Next to you
So you can be what you need to be
And I can too
Be kind to yourself this Christmas
It’s a gift
A gift that keeps on giving
Every year after year of living
The best life we can live
Let’s be present in the present
And be sure that when when you’re near me
Your presence is enough
This year I’m gonna be right here
Next to you
So you can be what you need to be
And I can too
Be kind to yourself this Christmas
So if you can be that someone
For someone who needs someone
To stand by their side
With nothing but pride
And search for the Santa inside
Kindness is not just for Christmas
You can feel it in the air
Feel the magic everywhere
It’s a gift that keeps on giving
So if you can be anything
Be kind
This year
