1.
The snow is gently falling, it's a perfect Christmas night,
And as the world outside gets covered in a sheet of snowy white.
You're gifts are wrapped, your tree is trimmed, and your kids are safe and sound.
You think there's nothing left for you to do, but just take a look around.
Because that snow ain't quite as magical, for the man who has no home.
And the spirit of the season's lost, when you're on the streets alone.
Across town a family's struggling, but they just can't make ends meet.
How can they worry about gifts when they don't have enough to eat.

CHORUS:
And that Christmas star that shines on you, you know it shines on those folks too,
It just seems a little brighter where you all,
An on this very special night of nights, we have another chance to make things right.
You can spread a little hope from where you are.
And let them make a wish upon this Christmas star.

Now I know you're probably thinking, what difference could one person make.
But if we all just gave a little, how long would it really take.
Before one more child could go to sleep, with a tummy full.
And one more lost soul on the street, might feel a little less alone.
So when you think about the season, remember what ir really means,
And when you see that star above you, and how brightly it still gleams,
Just remember but for God's grace, it could as easily be you,
And if you stood in their place, what would you want to see us do?

CHORUS:
And that Christmas star that shines on you, you know it shines on those folks too,
It just seems a little brighter where you all,
An on this very special night of nights, you have another chance to make things right.
You can spread a little hope from where you are.
And let them make a wish upon this Christmas star.
