children again

Lyrics

we found one in a closet and one in a drawer, there's no hiding place we won't find anymore, we'd shake every present for any small clue, of what lies beneath the words "from me to you", but for every present left under a tree, there are things that we hoped for and never received, and the years and the yearning can make us forget, to be filled with wonder instead of regret, but christmas is calling again, leading us to bethlehem, where a child is waiting for you, when grown up dreams don't come true, it sounds crazy, but a baby, can make us all children again, when you want to forgive but the wound is so deep, and you ache for forgiveness for the secrets you keep, when the flower of your heart only feels like a thorn, and you long for the child that you were before, christmas is calling again, leading you to bethlehem, where a child is waiting for you, when grown up dreams don't come true, it sounds crazy, but a baby, can make us all children again, afraid to be strangers, we circle the manger, and kneel down beside it again, but he wishes that we would crawl in, where a child is waiting for you, when grown up dreams don't come true, it sounds crazy, that a baby, would ask for our hearts made of stone, and then give us a heart like his own, if we let him, he will begin, to make us all children again, we will be children again, god wrapped a gift that he hid in the world, deep in the womb of an innocent girl, but when we were ready and on a dirt floor, love found a way in and left open the door
