When I think about Christmas, I see the children in front of me
I hear the hearts beating in front of the living room's door.
The waiting has an end, the distribution of presents begins. 1
And their happiness makes me turn back to a child again.

When I think about christmas, I see the manger in front of me
I hear the Angels sing "the Saviour is here"
(I) see Joseph and Mary holding the child in their arms
Within a stable in Bethlehem, secure and warm

When I think about Christmas, I see the elderly In front of me
Also those, who (already) left us, are back here again
We fell that their hearts are still close to us
And long past hours are there again for us

1. In Germany it's tradition that the christmas presents are given on the evening of 24th December, and usually the children wait outside of the living room for a while before they are allowed to go inside and receive them
