In Santa's sleigh this year has lost its jingle soft and low
He moves in quiet sorrow where the children cannot go
No ringing bells or laughter just whispers in the night
A heavy heart still guiding him to make their Christmas bright
This year the world feels heavy with sorrow on his sleigh
Santa travels war-torn skies and streets where dreams decay
He sees the faces waiting with hope that's running thin
And wonders if the world can find its Christmas heart again
Jingle jingle Santa's near
Bringing hope and Christmas cheer
Though his heart is aching so
Onward through the night he'll go
Oh Santa feels the heartache when he sees the pain and fear
But he presses on through darkness for every child so dear
His wish for all this Christmas is a world that dares to see
A life of love and charity for you and me
Through the rubble and the silence he leaves a tiny spark
A gift to light the shadows to mend a broken heart
He knows he cannot fix it all the hurt runs far too deep
But even in the hardest times he plants a hope to keep
Jingle jingle Santa's near
Bringing hope and Christmas cheer
Though his heart is aching so
Onward through the night he'll go
Oh Santa feels the heartache when he sees the pain and fear
But he presses on through darkness for every child so dear
His wish for all this Christmas is a world that dares to see
A life of love and charity for you and me
Onward through the night Santa goes
Even Santa's heart is aching so
No sleigh too fast no list too long he gives his every mile
But his heart aches for the children who wait with tearful smiles
This year he prays for kindness a world to heal and grow
For hands to reach out gently for love to overflow
To orphans and the homeless a light they need to see
Where humanity can give and share love their way so free
Oh Santa dreams of mornings when no child feels alone
Where homes are filled with laughter and love is freely shown
His wish for all this Christmas is a world that dares to be
A beacon of compassion for all humanity
Santa always tries to bring the cheer
Jingle jingle hear his sleigh
Guiding hearts this Christmas Day
Let love and charity lead the way
And keep the dream alive
And share your cheer with those you know this Christmas Day
