This Is Christmas in Our Hands

Intro

Oh-oh, ah-ah, ding-ding

La-la-la, la-la-la

(Ho-ho) come close, come close

Verse

Streetlamps fold like paper stars

Bootprints map the way we are

Carols float from open doors

Warm steam marks the windowsills

You laugh and knock, I twist the key

Everything in here remembers we

Pre-chorus

Candles stitch the quiet whole (oh)

Breath turns silver on the sill

Take my coat, let's step outside (yeah)

Where every little light sits still

Chorus

Merry, merry, underneath the falling snow (merry, merry)

Hold my hand, we'll spin the whole world slow (spin it slow)

Ring the bells, the rooftops glow, ah-ah

This is Christmas in our hands, this is Christmas in our hands

Merry, merry, underneath the falling snow (merry, merry)

Hold my hand, we'll spin the whole world slow (spin it slow)

Ring the bells, the rooftops glow, ah-ah

This is Christmas in our hands, this is Christmas in our hands

Verse

Cookies browned like little suns

Paper crowns and silly puns

Your old coat draped on the chair

Record scratches an old carol

We trade secrets by the tree

Promise not to count the years

Pre-chorus

Window frost draws tiny maps (oh-oh)

Footsteps hum the avenue

Under mistletoe we laugh (ha)

The city's wrapped in tinsel blue

Chorus

Merry, merry, underneath the falling snow (merry, merry)

Hold my hand, we'll spin the whole world slow (spin it slow)

Ring the bells, the rooftops glow, ah-ah

This is Christmas in our hands, this is Christmas in our hands

Merry, merry, underneath the falling snow (merry, merry)

Hold my hand, we'll spin the whole world slow (spin it slow)

Ring the bells, the rooftops glow, ah-ah

This is Christmas in our hands, this is Christmas in our hands

Bridge

Ding-ding, the choir climbs the stair (ding)

Na-na, the morning waits for us there (na-na)

Close your eyes, count down with me (count with me)

One, two, three — open wide, believe (believe, believe)

Chorus

Merry, merry, underneath the falling snow (merry, merry)

Hold my hand, we'll spin the whole world slow (spin it slow)

Ring the bells, the rooftops glow, ah-ah

This is Christmas in our hands, this is Christmas in our hands

Merry, merry, underneath the falling snow (merry, merry)

Hold my hand, we'll spin the whole world slow (spin it slow)

Ring the bells, the rooftops glow, ah-ah

This is Christmas in our hands, this is Christmas in our hands
