Christmas in the streets

LYRICS "Christmas in the Streets” Yeah… December nights, generator hums, Mama singing carols where the cold still comes. No snow where I’m from, but the year been hard, Faith in our pockets, hope wrapped in cards. Hook It’s Christmas in the streets, lights shining through the pain, Red and green dreams wrapped in cellophane. Even when the year tried to break my spine, We toast to love, yeah, one more time. Christmas in the streets, bells ring with the scars, From the gutter to the throne, from the curb to the stars. If you made it through the storm, raise your glass tonight, It’s a holy-day hustle under Christmas lights. Verse 1 January dreams met February bills, By July we was numb, still chasing the thrill. Used to want Jordans under the tree, Now I want peace for my whole family. Mama praying hard, daddy working late, Kids counting sleeps till the 25th date. Christmas ain’t gifts, it’s forgiveness, Calling old friends like “we still this?” I seen rich men empty, poor men blessed, Seen love survive when hope was stressed. Stockings light but the faith real heavy, We still smiling even when life ain’t ready. Bridge Silent nights ain’t silent here, Sirens sing instead of reindeer. But love still finds a way somehow, Through the dark, we bow, not out. Verse 2 This year taught me patience and prayer, How to stand tall when nobody care. Empty chairs at the dinner tonight, Names in our hearts, stars in the sky. If you broke but you breathing, you rich still, If you dreaming through pain, that’s God’s will. Christmas in the streets, hope never dies, Every scar turn gold under December skies. Outro So wherever you are, if you listening now, You made it this far—take a breath, take a bow. Merry Christmas to the fighters and believers still, We survived the year… and that’s the real gift.
