the land of christmas (mary)

Singer:carly simon

take me into your hands

make me into your prayer

take me away to the land of christmas

and dismiss my fear

show me the way

you see i need a way to pass

through the pain

breathe it and bear it and rise up again

take me away to the land of christmas

where i can receive your kiss

feel the strength in my heart

and wail like a baby

and sail through the storm

be tender as mary

with her newborn son

is feeling small a very good thing?

is feeling big really very small?

take me away to the land of christmas

where i won't question your love at all

and when i kneel to you

it doesn't mean i'll get the message right

take me away to the land of christmas

where i can't resist surrendering

and i'll wail like a baby

and sail through the storm

be tender like mary

with her newborn son

on christmas morn

tender as mary

with her newborn son
