I kicked off a 12 Days of Christmas countdown yesterday with THE REASON FOR THE SEASON, a collaboration I finished last year with Michael Young, who wrote the lyrics for my tune with only the title as a guide (thanks Michael!).

NEW! Get The Reason for the Season on Sheet Music Direct now (lead sheet with ukulele chords).

The reason for the season comes wrapped in swaddling clothes,
Not masked in pretty paper, or tied with fancy bows.
The reason for the season comes from the humble stall,
And not with lights or pressing crowds, like in a shopping mall.
The reason for the season speaks to the quiet throng,
Who set aside all pride of heart to hear the angel’s song.
The reason for the season came here to show the way,
Come celebrate by offering you heart to him to day.

The reason for the season comes though no place was found,
And not unto a palace hall with servants hovering round.
The reason for the season, first sung by angel choir,
Still heralds at this holy time to kindle and inspire.
The reason for the season comes in this baby boy,
Who soon will reign a mighty king, as millions shout for joy.
The reason for the season came here to show the way,
Come celebrate by offering you heart to him to day.
