Whitehorse - December's Children Lyrics

The longest night
Under the northern lights
Fills us with wonder and awe
Reindeer we think that we saw

Is he real
Or can we just hope that we feel
Something in magical times
In the bustling cities or out among pines

And maybe this one time of year
We go with the magic the wonder and cheer
Because bells can no longer pretend not to ring
When December’s children sing

The new day breaks
And everyone slowly awakens
The light trickles in from the East
And granny is toiling away at the feast

The baby he laughs with a shriek
And pulls on his sister’s cheeks
They tear at the paper and glue
I watch them and hold on to you

And maybe this one time of year
We go with the magic the wonder and cheer
Because bells can no longer pretend not to ring
When December’s children, they sing

The longest night
Under the northern lights
Fills us with wonder and awe
Reindeer we think that we saw

The baby he laughs with a shriek
And pulls on his sister’s cheeks
They tear at the paper and glue
I watch them and hold on to you
