From one end of the universe to the other
I send you fond greetings
From our cosmic mother
I surf the stars, bringing cheer and peace
Faster than light, her gifts appear before you can see them
Before you can see them
Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year
Revolutions bring you back here
Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year
Resolutions keep your spirit clear
If you want to bring it back to the source
The first thing you have to know is what you’re here for
The greatest explorations await inside
You’ve always taken yourself for a ride, so fly this time
Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year
(Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year)
Revolutions bring you back here
Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year
(And Happy Light Year)
Resolutions keep your spirit clear
The cosmic circle spins round and round like a gear
We’re all part of this machinery
So take in the beauty as you travel this galactic scenery
Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year
(Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year)
Revolutions bring you back here
Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year
(Merry Cosmos and Happy Light Year)
The cosmic circle spins like a gear
(The cosmic circle spins like a gear)
The cosmic circle spins like a gear

Christmas Is Real
02:40

I’ve been asking myself since I first saw you smile
What gifts I could offer, carried over these miles
Of snow that never fell between us
The stories we tell about the myths of childhood
No happier time than planes made of balsa wood
Train tracks laid out on your kitchen floor
Christmas is real
I’ve given you lights to cover the spectrum
Memories too pure to offer up for dissection
Wrapping too torn to be put together, oh no
Now all you have to do to preserve these trappings
Are gifts to a child and the smell of pine needles
There are some things no one can ever steal
Christmas is real
I’ve been waiting all night just to say this
You are the first thing I put on my list
Stay, you’re the only thing that I missed
I’ve been waiting all night just to say this
The lights are all out
The lights are all out
And the windows are dark
Children asleep on the wings of a lark
And you in the bed of prayer that I speak
Christmas is real
Christmas is real
Christmas is real
Christmas is real
