When someone very dear, calls you with the words
Everything’s all clear
That’s what you want to hear
But you know it might be different in the new year
That’s why, that’s why
We hang the lights so high

Joy, joy, joy, joy,
You loved it as a kid, and now you need it more than you ever did
It’s because of the dark, we see the beauty in the spark
That’s why, that’s why
The carols make you cry
Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy

The tinsel on the tree, yes I see
The holly on the door, like before
The candles in the gloom, light the room
The story of the globe, yes I understand

So light the winter fire, and watch as the flames grow higher
We’ll gather up our fears
And face down all the coming years
All that they’ve destroyed
And in their face we throw our
Joy, joy, joy, joy
Joy, joy, joy, joy

It’s why, we hang the lights so high
And gaze at the glow, of silver birches in the snow
Because of the dark, we see the beauty in the spark
We must be alright, if we could make up Christmas night.
