By Christmas Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Another year has passed
Life just moves too fast
Where will I find time to live my dream
There's so much left of me to be
Expedite and bring to life those things I need
Hear my prayer
My request
This is my earnest plea
Hearts desire what I believe to see
God let it be if You don't mind
Could it be mine by Christmas day
Hear what I say
Not a timeline
Just let it be mine
Christmas day
My time to save the world
Or help one boy or girl
By simply taking out the time to hear
What could it hurt to help to dry a tear
Or letting one lonely heart know I care
Let it be mine
Let it be mine
Let it be mine
Let it be mine Christmas day
