Never grieve the evergreen
Cut up from the earth
In this sacred season
As we celebrate a birth
Cover it with anything
To let us see the light
As we listen to the music
And we cradle her tonight
The roots go deeper
Away out in the yard
While the moon is sleeping
In her arms
When she dreams
She'll remember
All the joy and wonder
In the story of a star
All the love of family
All the seeds of mystery
She will see
Beneath the tree
When she dreams of Christmas
Every year we gather here
To light the light again
Now she is here to remind us
Of why this all began
The roots go deeper
Than any one of us
But all of us together
Are the promise and the trust
When she dreams
She'll remember
All the joy we gave her
In the story of a star
All the love of family
All the seen and unseen
She will meet
Beneath the tree
When she dreams of Christmas
