"Hope will bring you home" (Christmas Song)

"Hope will bring you home"

It’s Christmas time and we’re far from home the memories flood our mind

We remember times of long ago friends and family one of a kind

The laughs, the gifts, and the mistletoe we all had so much fun

Those years are gone, we’re far from home, and we’re feeling all forlorn

Chorus

Yes, hope will bring you home to be with family who are dear

Hope will kindle hearts just like a loving flame that’s clear

Hope will push us on through the snow or through the rain

Hope will keep us together to bring us back home again

Christmas day is finally here, mum was busy all day long

I could hear her singing carols prepped the dinner to a song

We opened gifts had lots of fun and made a lot of noise

Thank you dear old Santa Clause for giving us all those toys

Chorus

Yes, hope will bring you home to be with family who are dear

Hope will kindle hearts just like a loving flame that’s clear

Hope will push us on through the snow or through the rain

Hope will keep us together to bring us back home again

Christmas is for everyone family, friends, and kin

Regardless of religion if we love them we all win

Just embrace, those, you love the most, just hold them, and be kind

Let’s sing a song together, let’s sing for “Auld Lang Syne”

Chorus

Yes, hope will bring you home to be with family who are dear

Hope will kindle hearts just like a loving flame that’s clear

Hope will push us on through the snow or through the rain

Hope will keep us together to bring us back home again

I reminisce of the turkey, potatoes, cranberry, stuffing too

The aroma of the baking all my dreams of seeing you

The Christmas tree is all aglow with tinsel, lights so bright

It illuminated Christmas day it was such a beautiful sight

 

Chorus

Yes, hope will bring you home to be with family who are dear

Hope will kindle hearts just like a loving flame that’s clear

Hope will push us on through the snow or through the rain

Hope will keep us together to bring us back home again (X2)
