Build a showman with the wind at his back
Got the day planned and presents to wrap
Fight the windchill with all of my friends
'Cause it's Christmastime again
Going downtown and spreading good cheer
Handing gloves out when we volunteer
For the children, grinning from ear to ear
Singing Christmastime is here

ha-ha-ha ho-ho-ho
Four-wheel driving through the snow
Fighting the cold with some hot cocoa
Grabbing grandma, to the mall we go
And there's a man outside with a bucket and a bell
Wants to go home with a story to tell
And he's reminding us that his Christmas
Got nothing to do with living for himself

It's the light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles You know it could Shine on through
All the good that we do for the people
that don't have it so good
It's the light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles You know it could Shine on through
All the good that we do for the people
that don't have it so good

Light me up
And i'll show you the way
Every year
Can't wait for christmas day
Light me up
I've finally figured out
What Christmas is all about

Here's a gift card for your new winter coat
'Cause the backyard is covered with snow
And the sleigh rides, they don't cost a cent
Yeah, it's Christmas time again
It's the light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles You know it could Shine on through
All the good that we do for the people
that don't have it so good
It's the light of Christmas shining through
Our eyes, our smiles You know it could Shine on through
All the good that we do for the people
that don't have it so good

Light me up
And i'll show you the way
Every year
Can't wait for christmas day
Light me up
I've finally figured out
What Christmas is all about

Do you hear the sound
A thousand angels are singing out
To god almighty we're bowing down
And that's what Christmas is all about
Do you hear the sound
A thousand angels are singing out
To god almighty we're bowing down
And that's what Christmas is all about
Light me up
And i'll show you the way
Every year
Can't wait for christmas day

Light me up
I've finally figured out
What Christmas is all about
It's the light of Christmas shining through
