[00:10.200]Now Jonnie never got his wish December 25th
[00:12.530]That's what he said when we left the orphanage
[00:15.150]Nine years old, but Jonnie was an old soul
[00:17.200]Gonna spend his first Christmas in a real home
[00:19.620]Then he showed me a picture he made the night before
[00:22.020]A drawing of a man standin' outside the door
[00:24.350]He said, "I see him in my dreams
[00:26.520]He comforts me when I can't sleep"

[00:43.450]Big brother for the weekend, respondin' to the season
[00:45.540]I took the chance that givin's better than receivin'
[00:48.240]Two nights, a new family, some holiday cheer
[00:50.340]We laughed and sang
[00:51.540]Came on a midnight clear

[00:55.240]We looked to the heavens, and it started snowing blessings

[01:16.380]Religion that God our Father
[01:19.720]Accepts as pure and faultless is this:
