(Carly Simon)

Take me into your hands

Make me into your prayer

Take me away to the land of Christmas

And dismiss my fear

Show me the way



You see I need a way to pass

through the pain

Breathe it and bear it and rise up again

Take me away to the land of Christmas

Where I can receive your kiss

Feel the strength in my heart



And wail like a baby

And sail through the storm

Be tender as Mary

With her newborn son



Is feeling small a very good thing?

Is feeling big really very small?

Take me away to the land of Christmas

Where I won't question your love at all



And when I kneel to you

It doesn't mean I'll get the message right

Take me away to the land of Christmas

Where I can't resist surrendering



And I'll wail like a baby

And sail through the storm

Be tender like Mary

With her newborn son

On Christmas morn

Tender as Mary

With her newborn son
