Wishing for This

After a particularly trying week, a friend shared these lyrics with me and they struck a chord in my heart. Leigh Nash sings:

I can hear the bells they're ringing out
to say that it's Christmas
everybody's wearing too few grins
and checking off they're wishlist
and I'm looking over mine
it's obvious that I'm hoping for something different

so drop your hands into this heart of mine
oh how it needs lifted
I want forgive and I need to be forgiven
I wanna let live and I need to do some livin'
I wanna find a light this christmas night with you
I wanna find a light this christmas night with you

I try to find my coat and gloves that Iwill join them out there
I walk into the soft and dreamy welt
that's blowing through my head
and I feel a little numb 'cause I wait for you to come
answer this one fray

so drop your hands into this heart of mine
will you show me where
I can forgive and I can to be forgiven
I wanna let live 'cause I need to do some livin'
I wanna find a light this christmas night with you
I wanna find a light this christmas night with you

I'm looking for a sign
it's obvious that I'm hoping for something different
so drop your hands into this heart of mine
oh how it needs lifted
I wanna forgive and I want to be forgiven
I wanna let live and I need to do some livin'
I wanna find a light this christmas night with you
I gotta find a light this christmas night with you

What are you wishing for this Christmas?
