I Am Christmas

[Verse 1]
I will sew a braid of gold
On grey December's ragged sleeve
And teach the crabbed and jaded soul
How to give, how to receive
The rooms are thick with magic now
The tree its soft light throwing
The mistletoe, the holly bough
My age old spell bestowing

[Chorus]
I am warmth and I am light
And I am kith and kin
A candle in your darkest night
I am Christmas, let me in
I am Christmas, let me in

[Verse 2]
For I bring stories by the hearth
Delight in half-forgotten names
And apple logs on fragrant fires
With flickering faces in the flamеs
And as the year draws in its days
And tired lеaves are falling
I can brighten darkened ways
Where dusk is early calling

[Chorus]
I am warmth and I am light
And I am kith and kin
A candle in your darkest night
I am Christmas, let me in
I am Christmas, let me in

[Verse 3]
I can take the weary miles
And weave a carpet to your door
And guide the dusty wanderer home
Safely to your side once more
And I can cheer the bitter days
With tunes to set you singing
My standard in your heart I'll raise
With joy and comfort bringing

[Verse 4]
I bring churches all aglow
And carols on the midnight air
And coloured windows streaked with snow
That glid the congregation there
For young and old will join and sing
To mark the long year's turning
From one glad candle that I bring
Ten thousand more are burning

[Chorus]
I am warmth and I am light
And I am kith and kin
A candle in your darkest night
I am Christmas, let me in
I am Christmas, let me in
I am Christmas, let me in
