Sparkle in the Dark

Walking through this time of year
Supposed to feel full of cheer
Out in the world I hear the songs
Same ones we play every year

If I'm true to my own heart
The only one I ever really loved
The Drummer Boy, the gift he gave
The only one a baby might have liked

What, I ask, does cheer mean?
When all around, there's just activity
What do those who sit alone have left to feel but more alone?

The darkest time of the year
In the old New England corner of the world
We're driving home, I take it slow
I look around, all the strangers in their homes

You know my favorite part
The bright electric yards
Wired full of light, piercing through the night
They give a little sparkle in the dark

Time has passed, and I
Find myself humming right along
'Cause everybody wants to be warm and fed
Everyone deserves to feel comfort in their bed

So this Christmas time
Give us just a simple sign
That we all belong, and that we get to see
See a little sparkle in the dark
