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.
