Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He rides the wind when stars go dim
With sleighs that hum a midnight hymn
He knows the names, he knows the dreams
He sees the cracks in silent seams

[Verse 2]
He doesn’t knock, he doesn’t call
He walks through shadows, past the wall
He counts the hearts, not just the deeds
He knows the wants beneath the needs

[Verse 3]
So light the fire, prepare the ground
The snow will hush, the bells will sound
He’s not a myth, he’s not a tale
He’s every whisper in the gale

[Verse 4]
He’s coming close, he’s drawing near
With gifts of joy and drops of fear
So be awake when night turns round
Because he’s coming to your town

[Pre-Chorus]
He sees the truth behind the cheer
He knows what hides beneath the year
So don’t pretend, don’t fake the smile
He’s watched your soul this long, long while

[Chorus / Hook]
Santa Claus is coming to town
With velvet boots and thorny crown
Santa Claus is coming tonight
So hold your breath and get it right

[Bridge – Drop Lead-In]
He doesn’t miss, he doesn’t stray
He’s marked your path, he knows your way
He’s not just jolly, not just kind
He’s justice wrapped in winter’s mind

[Final Hook – Full Ensemble]
Santa Claus is coming to town
To lift you up or strike you down
Santa Claus is coming, beware
He’s more than magic in the air
