Name: A Wish
Duration: P00H02M53S
Description: Despite the colored lights and celebrations, many of us spend the holidays dealing with the effects of separation from those we love. No matter the circumstance, it's an especially challenging time to face feelings of loss, abandonment, and grief. This is a song for saying it to the wind, when there's no one else to say it to.

Despite the colored lights and celebrations, many of us spend the holidays dealing with the effects of separation from those we love. No matter the circumstance, it's an especially challenging time to face feelings of loss, abandonment, and grief. This is a song for saying it to the wind, when there's no one else to say it to.

lyrics

Deck the Halls-
Haul out the Holly
Fill up your hearts with
Friendship and Folly
Time to be Merry
Yeah, tis the season
But my heart is searching
For a sensible reason

Why you're not around
and why I’m still so low, im drowning
Don’t know up from down
without your smile- its true
But Merry Christmas from someone who loves you

Joy to the world and
Peace on earth forever
Lets raise a glass
and hope it all gets a little better
The fresh fallen snow
on the rooftops is glistening
but my spirit sinks
when I think of who’s missing

and why you’re so far away
and why I’m still just praying I’ll hear from you
Don’t know then from now
without your smile- its true
But Merry Christmas from someone who loves you

I’ve cried a river
and its frozen over
but this winter feels like
it'll be here forever
And I thought I’d let it go
I thought I knew how to set down
the sadness and laugh
still at Christmas I can’t help
but wish you’d come back

So I’ll make a wish
Tonight at the window
on a bright star That looks like
the gleam of your eyes
and I’ll send some light
through the cold
through the distance
to remind you,
somewhere out there,
someone's missing you
Tonight
