shimmering above the clouds, dreams take flight.
Legends say that spirits dance across the sky
Children sing and sleigh bells ring, reindeer fly
Magic fills the air,
Spirits everywhere
This is Christmas night
Up above the Northern Lights on Christmas night,
Traveling through space and time
Endless light
You and I, beneath the skies, behold the light
Quietly, the mystery fills the night
Magic fills the air,
Spirits everywhere
This is Christmas night
Let your dreams take flight
Up above the Northern Lights on Christmas night,
shimmering above the clouds, dreams take flight.
