Make Believe
      © Joel Plimmer

It’s the middle of the night
Cookies lit by twinkle lights
Little eyes they hope to get a sight
Of Santa’s magic sleigh
Before it flies away
Soon they will be waking up
On Christmas Day

They make believe and kids can see it
A world where reindeer fly
And magic snowmen speak
They never doubt, they just believe it
And what I wish for you
Underneath your tree
Is a little make believe

While you’re sorting through
Those bills to pay
Getting through another day
The magic it can feel so far away
But it can come again
When you remember them
The things that you forgot
​You used to understand

They make believe and kids can see it
A world where reindeer fly
And magic snowmen speak
They never doubt, they just believe it
And what I wish for you
Underneath your tree
Is a little make believe

And you can fly
Through the cold December night
Up in the sky

It’s not a dream
If you let it find you
That little kid
That’s still inside you
There’s no reason not to

Cause they make believe and kids can see it
A world where reindeer fly
And magic snowmen speak
They never doubt, they just believe it
And what I wish for you
Underneath your tree
Is a little make believe

They make believe and kids can see it
A world where reindeer fly
And magic snowmen speak
They never doubt, they just believe it
And what I wish for you
Underneath your tree
Is a little make believe
​
It’s the middle of the night . . .
