Christmas Like a Child
I want to feel Christmas, how it used to be
With all of its wonder falling on me
This season has felt so empty, oh, for quite a while
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to see snowflakes fall to the ground
My brothers and sisters all gathered around
Singing, away in a manager as we sit by the fire
I want to feel Christmas like a child
It’s been so long now, I can’t say
Just when I lost my way
But I’m going back to how it was
(Like a child)
When this day meant everything
And we spent our time remembering
The baby Child born for us
It’s all about Jesus
Asleep in the straw
This infant, this King
This Savior for all
So I don’t need bells to be ringing
‘Cause I’ll join with angels singing, Gloria
And I can feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
I want to feel Christmas like a child
