Snow falls down from the gray sky
Ashes fall in the sea
Plans are thrown to the wayside
Frozen days of the week

But everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin' down
'Cause everybody's got somebody who's got their name on a shelf
With cheap décor and flavored cheer
You rest assured that Christmas saves the year

Dust off old photo boxes
This one's marked '92, yeah
Years past seemed so much grander
This one needs to come through

'Cause everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin' down
'Cause everybody's got somebody who's got their name on a shelf
With cheap décor and flavored cheer
You rest assured that Christmas saves the year

Bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum

Everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin' down
'Cause everybody's got somebody who's got their name on a shelf
With cheap décor and flavored cheer
You rest assured

Everybody wants to make it home this year
Even if the world is crumblin' down
'Cause everybody's got somebody who's got their name on a shelf
With cheap décor and flavored cheer
You rest assured, Christmas saves the year

(Ho ho ho)

    I have to say the first time I heard this song I cried. The lyrics are more real to me than most you would find about someone bearing heart to Jesus. I guess its easy for someone to miss the name in the song, but the moment I heard it, I realized that all of us in this world are so tightly connected and don't even know it. maybe it sounds silly, but that's the way it was and is. Its all about one man and how easy it is to become a slave to ourselves instead of a follower of the one who matters most.
