Christmas Spirit
Parody of Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift
by Ariana Dowdican
Footsteps in the snow without a trace,
I don’t know where else to go
Memories, dreams, and lights in mind, they glow
I remember you said the Christmas spirit grows
A place where fantasy and dreams do flow
Just close your eyes
Hear the Christmas spirit ring
Colorful lights shine bright
In the Spirit’s name we sing
All our hearts take flight
Soaring on an angel’s wing
Trees lit up in every window
Wreaths on every porch
Children running, playing
Wrappers covering the floor
Carols roaring, right outside the door
People giving – letting spirits soar, soar
Just close your eyes
Hear the Christmas spirit ring
Colorful lights shine bright
In the spirit’s name we sing
All our hearts take flight
Soaring on an angel’s wing
Oooh OoohOooh (x4)
Just close your eyes
Colorful lights shine bright
All our hearts take flight
Soaring on an angel’s wing

The piece I entered is important to both me and my friend, who now lives in Wisconsin, because it started out as a project during high school but it became more important to us after she moved and this song still connects us.
