Another year has come and gone
And I'm still here holdin' on
To this riffle and a picture of my kids
Sayin' it's a holiday

Sure as him, don't feel that way
Don't think Jesus meant for it to feel like this

A paper star on a plastic tree
Cotton snow in a manger scene
Do the best we can
To make it feel like home

Turkey dinner on paper plates
Sergeant bows his head to pray
Boombox playin' Silent Night
Camouflage and Christmas lights

They're probably up on the hill by now
Bottled up and sleddin' down
Catchin' snowflakes
On the edge of their tongues

Standin' up at the top would be
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
Whispering a quiet prayer for all of us

A paper star on a plastic tree
Cotton snow in a manger scene
Do the best we can
To make it feel like home

Turkey dinner on paper plates
Sergeant bows his head to pray
Boombox playin' Silent Night
Camouflage and Christmas lights

Some say I'm a hero
But I'm just a dad
Just tryin' to protect
The most precious thing I have

Someday I'll be home again
And our world will be right
But for tonight

A paper star on a plastic tree
Cotton snow in a manger scene
Do the best we can
To make it feel like home

Turkey dinner on paper plates
Sergeant bows his head to pray
Boombox playin' Silent Night
Camouflage and Christmas lights

Thank God, it's a silent night
Camouflage and Christmas lights
