Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, God, oh, God
Dear Father in Heaven
I'm not a praying man but if You're up there and You can hear me
Show me the way
I'm at the end of my road and I
Show me the way, oh God
[Verse 2]
No more trouble
In this town
Silent night
For a change
[Verse 3]
Brand new year
Comin’ up ahead
You know it’s been so long
Since I rang one in
[Verse 4]
I close my eyes
Think about the path I took
Just when I think these times
Have gotten the best of me
[Verse 5]
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life
[Verse 6]
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin
[Verse 7]
Stomp my boots before I go back in
[Verse 8]
I wasted my wishes
On Saturday nights
Boy, what I would give
For just one more
[Verse 9]
I’d soften my heart
Shock the world
Do you hear my voice?
Do you know my name?
Light my way
Lift my head
Light my way
[Verse 10]
I can see my mother in the kitchen
My father on the floor
Watching television
It's a wonderful life
[Verse 11]
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin
[Verse 12]
Family all together
Presents piled high
Frost on all the windows
What a wonderful night
[Verse 13]
Cinnamon candles burning
Snowball fights outside
Smile below each nose and above each chin
[Verse 14]
So happy they found me
Love was all around me
Stomp my boots before I go back in
