Lyric

Candles flicker on the sill

Shadows dance, the night stands still

Somewhere a child is counting stars

Wondering how close or far

Every door holds its own story

Every heart its quiet plea

May your windows catch the light

May the cold stay outside tonight

For the ones who wander alone

May they find their way back home

Light through every window burning

For the world still slowly learning

How to hold each other near

Through the longest night of the year

Steam rises from a cup held tight

A stranger smiles, the dark feels bright

Footprints crossing in the snow

Where they lead, we'll never know

Every silence holds a song

Every place where we belong

May your windows catch the light

May the cold stay outside tonight

For the ones who wander alone

May they find their way back home

Not in ribbons, not in gold

But in hands we choose to hold

In the bread we break and share

In the weight we help to bear

May your windows catch the light

May we all get through this night

For the lost, the tired, the torn

May they wake to softer mornings

Light through every window glowing

Seeds of kindness we keep sowing

Till we learn to hold each other near

Not just the longest night

All year
