Let our hearts open up with joy this Christmas.

Let our hearts open wide this Christmas day,

as laughter and love light our way.

Smiles as warm as the fire’s embrace,

bind us all in a timeless space.

The world is changing, shifting its tune,

guiding our hearts toward a brighter moon.

As gifts are unwrapped and joy takes flight,

we kindle the spark of a world turned bright.

Throw your arms wide; let love take its place,

hold every moment, every face.

Cherish the laughter, the stories, the cheer,

celebrate those who are still here.

For as we give, our spirits will grow,

a radiant peace the heart will know.

Through kindness, friendship, and hands entwined,

we step toward a world of a higher kind.

In lands of joy, where love commands,

we’ll build together these joyous lands.

So let this Christmas mark the start

of a dimension born in the heart.
