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 holidaySure as hell, don't feel that way
Don't think Jesus meant for it to feel like thisA paper star on a plastic tree
Cotton snow in a manger scene
Do the best we can
To make it feel like homeTurkey dinner on paper plates
Sergeant bows his head to pray
Boombox playin' Silent Night
Camouflage and Christmas lightsThey're probably up on the hill by now
Bundled up and sleddin' down
Catchin' snowflakes
On the edge of their tonguesStandin' up at the top would be
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
Whispering a quiet prayer for all of usA paper star on a plastic tree
Cotton snow in a manger scene
Do the best we can
To make it feel like homeTurkey dinner on paper plates
Sergeant bows his head to pray
Boombox playin' Silent Night
Camouflage and Christmas lightsSome say I'm a hero
But I'm just a dad
Just tryin' to protect
The most precious thing I haveSomeday I'll be home again
And our world will be right
But for tonightA paper star on a plastic tree
Cotton snow in a manger scene
Do the best we can
To make it feel like homeTurkey dinner on paper plates
Sergeant bows his head to pray
Boombox playin' Silent Night
Camouflage and Christmas lightsThank God, it's a silent night
Camouflage and Christmas lights
