Christmas Pageant Lyrics

Take me back to that Christmas pageant

We were five

You were Mary

I was an angel dressed in white

And we were sitting on the curb after the play, drinking cocoa

Talking 'bout what we would do someday

We were so ignorant yet ambitious back then

Practically thought we could rule the world when we were ten

Back when the only thing we seemed to care about was tryin' to listen for the reindeer hoof steps on our house

We were kids having fun

Wondering what Santa Claus was gonna bring us this year

Back then we never had fears that were bigger than the dark

We used to look up at the stars and call the plane lights reindeer

Take me back to that Christmas Pageant

First time I saw the world was in the sixth grade

I finally learned it was a scary place

I didn't want the innocence to leave just yet so I turned to my best friend and said

We're still kids, let's have some fun

Do you still believe in Santa Claus

What's he gonna bring us this year

We still don't have that many fears that are bigger than the dark

Let's go look up at the stars and try to spot the reindeer

Take me back to that Christmas Pageant

And it's the last year I'll be a kid when Christmas rolls around

And I still don't think that I have this "adulting" figured out

I wanna be a kid forever

I wanna write to Santa Claus and tell him

"All I want for Christmas is to put growing up on pause"

Could we be kids having fun

Could we believe in Santa Claus and guess what he's gonna bring us this year

Could we go back to having no fears that were bigger than the dark

Can we look up at the stars and call the plane lights reindeer

Take me back to that Christmas Pageant

Take me back to that Christmas Pageant
