You say you're leaving 
Going back home 
Where's your family 
Where do you come from 

Something's missing in your life 
You've felt it all along 
Retrace your steps 
Balance and check 
Where it all went wrong 

The spirit is broken 
The path is overrun 
You can't move forward 
And now nothing gets done 

I hope you find some 
In a peace along the way 
Whatever it takes I pray you'll make it 
Home on christmas day 

In case you don't find what you need 
When you finally arrive 
And your heart is snowed in 
There's no warmth or light 

Take this candle with you 
And this book of matches as well 
As you're climbing the walls 
There's no answer at all 
Except the gift you give yourself 

I trust that you'll find some 
In a peace through times that are rough 
What would it take to hear you say 
The gift you give is love 
The gift you live in enough
