Everything I Had
Embracing the Magic of Christmas: A Journey Back to Childhood Wishes
Lyrics
It's starting to feel like winter
Expressing the onset of a cold and possibly melancholic season.
Can it be December?
Questioning if the current time is December.
I'm watching the fall surrender to the cold
Observing the transition of fall giving way to the cold.
They're starting to put the lights out
Noticing the initiation of holiday decorations with lights.
And I'm spending all my nights out
Spending evenings outside, possibly in reflection or solitude.
I'm fluttering like a white owl in the snow
Feeling light and free, akin to a white owl in snowy surroundings.
Oh
A moment of emphasis or reflection.
When I was six years old
Recalling a childhood memory at the age of six.
All I wanted was
Desire for simple pleasures and gifts during the holiday season.
Candy in the stocking
Specifically, desiring candy in the Christmas stocking.
My family we were rocking around the Christmas tree
Recollecting joyful family moments around the Christmas tree.
Christmas morning all I wanted was
A wish for a special experience on Christmas morning.
To know that Jesus loved me
Seeking assurance of love from a religious perspective.
And to feel the light above me
Desiring a spiritual connection and guidance.
Can we go back to that?
Longing for a return to the simplicity and purity of childhood.
When everything I wanted
Reflecting on a time when desires were satisfied with what was available.
Was everything I had
Emphasizing the satisfaction found in having one's desired possessions.
I'm starting to hear them singing
Awareness of others singing, possibly holiday songs.
But it's harder to feel the meaning
Finding it challenging to perceive the true meaning behind the festivities.
And who has got time for dreaming anymore?
Commenting on the contemporary lack of time for dreaming or imagination.
'Cause everyone's so distracted
Noting widespread distraction in society.
And everyone knows the madness
Acknowledging the prevailing madness and rush for consumerism.
Running to buy a package in the store
Observing the frenzy of purchasing holiday packages in stores.
Candy in the stocking
Reiterating the childhood desire for candy in the stocking.
My family we were rocking around the Christmas tree
Recalling festive family moments around the Christmas tree.
Christmas morning all I wanted was
Repeating the desire for a special Christmas morning experience.
To know that Jesus loved me
Reaffirming the importance of feeling loved from a religious standpoint.
And to feel the light above me
Desiring a spiritual connection and illumination.
Can we go back to that?
Expressing a wish to return to the innocence and joy of childhood.
When everything I wanted
Reflecting on a time when desires were simple and fulfilled.
Was everything I had
Highlighting the contentment found in possessing one's desired things.
And I know they say
Addressing the common belief that life is cold and unchanging.
That life is cold and static
Challenging the notion of a static and indifferent life.
But I can feel the magic when I close my eyes
Feeling a sense of wonder and magic when closing one's eyes.
I can see that everything is fine
Perceiving that everything is fine and harmonious.
And I know that Jesus loves me
Affirming a belief in the love of Jesus.
And I know that good is coming
Anticipating positive outcomes and blessings in life.
When I go back to that
Desiring a return to a state of innocence and joy.
Then everything I wanted
Reiterating the satisfaction in having one's desired possessions.
Is everything I have
Affirming that everything desired is now possessed.
Yeah everything I wanted
Repeating the satisfaction in having one's desired possessions.
Is everything I have
A final affirmation that everything desired is now possessed.
