Beneath the tinsel, beyond the lights
Before the dawn of retail glee
Exists a Christmas, a simpler Christmas
A Christmas as it's meant to be
A kinder season... for one and all
A season filled with love and joy
A celebration, an inspiration
For each and every girl and boy
When December winds
Carry sleigh bell sounds
And the air feels crisp and clean
Christmas day is near
Bringing hope and cheer
And a glimpse of what could be
Fa la la la la la...
Beneath the glitter, beyond the glow
Before good will was placed on sale
Exists a Christmas, a simpler Christmas
Not built by banks too big to fail
When December winds
Carry sleigh bell sounds
And the air feels crisp and clean
Christmas day is near
Bringing hope and cheer
And a glimpse - of what could be
Fa la la la la la...
