Lyric

Close your eyes, the world can wait

Steam on windows, time feels late

Chimes ring soft through drifting white

In this quiet, I find light

Nothing moves, and that’s enough

We’re at the centre — soft and tough

Rest up now, the stars will stay

Watch them circle, then drift away

You don’t have to chase or climb

Peace can come in Christmas time

Books unread and tea gone cold

Stories linger, gently told

All we lost and all we keep

Folded in a night so deep

Clock hands spin like carousel rings

But here we hold on simpler things

No roads to take, no plans to send—

Only now, where stillness bends

Rest up now, you’re safe, you’re clear

Let December draw you near

In the centre of the hush

Feel the joy without the rush
