The Christmas Song – Celtic Woman

The Reason

I would’ve died that day
If not for you.
I would’ve given up on life
If not for your kind eyes.
I would’ve used my teeth in fear
If not for your gentle hands.
I would have left this life
Believing that all humans don’t care
Believing there is no such thing
As fur that isn’t matted;
Skin that isn’t flea bitten,
Good food and enough of it.
A warm bed to sleep on,
A couch to stretch out on,
A deep, soft pad just for me by your chair,
Your loving, quiet voice
To gentle the nightmares away.
Someone to love ME!
To show me I deserve love
Just because I exist.
Your kind eyes,
Your loving smile,
Your gentle hands
Your big heart saved me…

You saved me
From the terror of the pound,
Soothing away
The memories of my old life.
You have taught me
What it means to be loved.
I have seen you do the same
For other dogs like me.
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair
“Why do I do it?”
When there is no more money,
No more room,
No more homes
You open your heart a little bigger,
Stretch the money a little tighter
Make just a little more room…
To save one more like me.
I tell you with the gratitude and love
Shines in my eyes
In the best way I know how

Reminding you why you go on trying.
I am the reason
The dogs before me were the reason
As are the ones who will come after.
Our lives would’ve been wasted,
Our love never given;
We would die if not for you.

The Prayer – Celine Dion & Josh Groban

Lyrics

I pray you’ll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise,
in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to the place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
La luce che tu dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità

La forza che ci dia
We ask that life be kind
È il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sè
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà

Oh Holy Night – Josh Groban

Lyrics

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

There’s A Place For Us – Carrie Underwood (Chronicles of Narnia Soundtrack)

Lyrics

There’s a place out there for us,
More than just a prayer
Or anything you’ve ever dreamed of.
So if you feel like giving up
Cause you don’t fit in down here,
Fear is crashing in,
Close your eyes and take my hand.

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong,
Where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough
There’s a place for us,
There’s a place for us.

When the water meets the sky,
Where your heart is free
And hope comes back to life,
When these broken hands are whole again,
We will find what we’ve been waiting for,
We were made for so much more

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong,
Where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough,
There’s a place for us,
There’s a place for us

So hold on, now hold on,
There’s a place for us

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong,
Where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough,
Exactly who we are is just enough,
There’s a place for us.
