Story behind the song
This Christmas song reflects the journey from childhood wonder to adult routine and the rediscovery of magic through the eyes of our own children. A tender reminder that the peace and joy of Christmas never truly disappear, they just wait to be seen again.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I can hear the childrens laughter
Their voices make the season bright
When they sing about the Holy Night
I havent been home for so long
But now it feels its all alright
This feeling that Im coming home tonight
Chorus
I hear the childrens laughter like back then
Christmas time is here again
The street where I grew up is all covered in white
Children smiling everywhere
Christmas peace is in the air
What a way to celebrate this silent night
Verse 2
Mama was baking in the kitchen
Dad told us stories every year
While we waited for the Christchild to appear
I can hear my sisters voice
As she and I stood by the tree
As we were caught in Christmas mystery
Chorus
I hear the childrens laughter like back then
Christmas time is here again
The street where I grew up is all covered in white
Children smiling everywhere
Christmas peace is in the air
What a way to celebrate this silent night
Bridge / Outro
My childlike eyes have disappeared
My childlike voice is gone, I fear
But I can see it in our children every night
With eyes as bright as candlelight
