Intro
Emaj7 B/D# C#m7 Amaj7
[Verso 1]
Emaj7
There's a wreath on our door and lights on the tree,
B/D#
A mug in my hand, and my family with me.
C#m7
But outside the snow globe of garland and pine,
Amaj7
I see other windows, with other kinds of shine.
[Pré-Refrão]
Emaj7
Next door they're spinning a dreidel or two,
B/D#
With laughter and candles and stories held true.
C#m7
Down the block a kinara glows strong,
Amaj7
With colors and drums and a unity song.
[Refrão]
Emaj7
One light, many windows, shining so bright,
B/D#
Different traditions, but all full of light.
C#m7
From Christmas to Kwanzaa, Solstice to flame,
Amaj7
We honor the joy, though we're not all the same.
Emaj7
It's not what you call it, or how you may pray
B/D#
It's love that unites us this holiday.
[Verso 2]
Emaj7
The kids on the block chase dreams in the dark,
B/D#
Their breath in the air, their laughter a spark.
C#m7
The moon looks down on our patchwork of ways,
Amaj7
Yet kindness connects us on these winter days.
[Pré-Refrão]
Emaj7
So pass me your story, I'll listen with care,
B/D#
We'll light up this season with all that we share.
C#m7
A neighbor, a friend, a greeting, a song
Amaj7
This world feels more whole when we all belong.
[Ponte]
C#m7
One light, many windows, shining so bright,
Amaj7
Different traditions, but all full of light.
F#m7
From Christmas to Kwanzaa, Solstice to flame,
B7
We honor the joy, though we're not all the same.

It's not what you call it, or how you may pray

The glow from your window shines back at me,
