Song lyrics

The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves
All warm-blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe
Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees
Christmas lights tangle in knots annually

Our families huddle closely
Betting warmth against the cold
But our bruises seem to surface
Like mud beneath the snow

So we sing carols softly, as sweet as we know
A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go
Like young love still waiting under mistletoe
We'll welcome december with tireless hope

Let our bells keep on ringing
Making angels in the snow
May the melody disarm us
When the cracks begin to show

Like the petals in our pockets
May we remember who we are
Unconditionally cared for
By those who share our broken hearts

The table is set and our glasses are full
Though pieces go missing, may we still feel whole
We'll build new traditions in place of the old
'cause life without revision will silence our souls

So let the bells keep on ringing
Making angels in the snow
May the melody surround us
When the cracks begin to show

Like the petals in our pockets
May we remember who we are
Unconditionally cared for
By those who share our broken hearts

As gentle as feathers, the snow piles high
Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time
Like fresh plates and clean slates, our future is white
New year's resolutions will reset tonight


Snow

The branches have traded their leaves for white sleeves,
All warm-blooded creatures make ghosts as they breathe.
Scarves are wrapped tightly like gifts under trees.
Christmas lights tangle in knots annually.

Our families huddle closely.
Betting warmth against the cold,
But our bruises seem to surface
Like mud beneath the snow.

So we sing carols softly, as sweet as we know,
A prayer that our burdens will lift as we go.
Like young love still waiting under mistletoe,
We'll welcome december with tireless hope.

Let our bells keep on ringing,
Making angels in the snow,
May the melody disarm us
When the cracks begin to show.

Like the petals in our pockets,
May we remember who we are.
Unconditionally cared for,
By those who share our broken hearts.

The table is set and our glasses are full.
Though pieces go missing, may we still feel whole.
We'll build new traditions in place of the old,
'cause life without revision will silence our souls.

So let the bells keep on ringing,
Making angels in the snow,
May the melody surround us
When the cracks begin to show.

Like the petals in our pockets,
May we remember who we are.
Unconditionally cared for,
By those who share our broken hearts.

As gentle as feathers, the snow piles high.
Our world gets rewritten and retraced every time.
Like fresh plates and clean slates, our future is white,
New year's resolutions will reset tonight.
