Used to stand outside looking in
Through the frosted window pane
Watched the lights and heard them singing
While I wrestled with my pain
Months of running, nights of hiding
From the shadows in my head
But this Christmas something shifted
I'm alive, no longer dead
Every scar has led me here
Every tear was worth the fight
Every prayer somebody whispered
Helped me make it through the night
We made it through the darkness (through the darkness)
We made it through the storm (through the storm)
We made it to December
Where the broken hearts get warm
So here's to all the fighters
Still searching for their way
You're gonna make it home for Christmas
Maybe not this year, but someday
Remember nights I couldn't face it
When the darkness was my friend
Thought the story had been written
Thought I'd reached my bitter end
But grace kept knocking at my door
Even when I locked it tight
Now I'm standing in the living room
Wrapped in love and Christmas lights
Every fall taught me to rise
Every loss showed me the way
Every angel in the static
Led me to this Christmas day
We made it through the darkness (through the darkness)
We made it through the storm (through the storm)
We made it to December
Where the broken hearts get warm
So here's to all the fighters
Still searching for their way
You're gonna make it home for Christmas
Maybe not this year, but someday
(Finally home, finally home)
(We're finally home for Christmas)
From the silent streets to glory's echo
From the breaking night to morning's glow
Every song we sang was leading
To this moment that we're breathing
Can you hear the bells? (they're ringing)
Can you hear the choir? (they're singing)
This is what redemption sounds like
This is what it means to fly
We walked out of the shadows (from the shadows)
We rose above the storm (every storm)
We made it to December
Where the broken hearts transform
So here's to all the fighters (keep on fighting)
You're gonna find your way (find your way)
You're gonna make it home for Christmas
If not this year, then someday
We're finally home (finally home)
We're finally whole (finally whole)
We're finally free this Christmas
Body, mind, and soul
(Finally home, finally home)
(We're finally home for Christmas)
So we wish you a Merry Christmas
From the ones who understand
That the road to home is rocky
But there's healing when love stands
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And when your fight is through
You'll be singing this with us next year
Finally home, like we came through
