Lyrics
The spirit lifts across the gardens of stone as Christmas gifts are set beneath trees at home A gentle wind guides the way; guides the way for them to go by It's almost Christmas Day, there are tears to dry Home, across gardens made of stone everybody's come home Now, the family is whole Coming home for Christmas, sharing love and laughter from beyond In a home they know well, they are remembering them Their stories of happiness tell their light to never dim There is a place at the table where no one seen will set No one there is yet able to fill that chair yet Home, across gardens made of stone everybody's come home Now, the family is whole Coming home for Christmas, sharing love and laughter from beyond The spriit lingers lovingly, but not for very long Still, the family can feel their presence as if they were not gone The spirit drifts away, back to duty in the gardens of stone For it's Christmas Day, when all soldiers visit home. Home, across gardens made of stone everybody's come home Now, the family is whole Coming home for Christmas, sharing love and laughter from beyond
