lyrics

The days are shorter now, the nights are dragging on.
The beards of the huddled mass of men are growing long.
Memories of Christmas past and presents round the tree,
Long before the doors were shut, before the misery.

"A sad excuse to rob a man of his wage
Every December 25th anyway."
You've really got it coming man, how could you be so cruel?
The spirits will come knocking, and you will play the fool.

You've got a lot of waking up to do.
You'll never know yourself until you see the things you do.
This day will live forever in your heart.
The day you found redemption or the day it fell apart.

Change is an excuse, excuses never change
Situations where there's nobody to blame.
Expectations are a crutch - I'll never get enough.
So come and box my ears, come and draw me near
Come and say exactly what I need to hear.
Confrontations rule the day, so come and have a say

I've got a lot of waking up to do.
I'll make myself an offer that I know I can't refuse.
I've got a lot of waking up to do.
You'll never know the strength you've given me to make it through.

I've always been wary of a man who's selling hope,
When you're at the bottom of the well you take the rope.
I've spent half my life asking to be left alone,
Now I'll take the hand that will lead me home.

I've got a lot of waking up to do.
You never know yourself until you see the things you do.
This day will live forever in my heart.
The day I found redemption and the day I found a start.
I've got a lot of waking up to do.
I'll make myself an offer that I know I can't refuse.
I've got a lot of waking up to do.
You'll never know the strength you've given me to make it through.
