Let the Light In (In the Name of Christmas)

With a year like the past one,
You can start to lose faith
Everybody running every which way
But the days are getting colder
And the nights are longer
And we all know what that means

The holiday season
Is coming on quick
The streets are bustling and shining again
But it seems like the world has lost its way
Can we try to find some peace?

Can we set aside our differences
In the name of Christmas?
In the name of something bigger than us
In the name of Christmas
I don't have the answers, but I know
We've gotta do somethin'
To come together and let go
Grant each other pardon
And it's the perfect time of year
To let the light in

(Let the light in, let the light in)

All the children are laughing
Down the bright shining streets
Skatin' and dancin' like a snowglobe dream
Everybody's home with family
And everything's familiar
Like nothing has ever changed

We've been fighting life's battles
Just making it through
It's time to gather together and heal our wounds
We've got a long road ahead in the coming year
Here's to all it'll bring

Can we set aside our differences
In the name of Christmas?
In the name of something bigger than us
In the name of Christmas
I don't have the answers but I know
We've gotta do somethin'
To come together and let go
Grant each other pardon
And it's the perfect time of year
To let the light in

Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in

I don't have the answers but I know
We've gotta do somethin'
To come together and let go
Grant each other pardon
And it's the perfect time of year
To let the light in
