Through Glass and Time (The Magic Snow Globe) Lyrics

By the window of Room 403

A nurse adjusts an IV tree

Strings up lights around the rail

While outside, winter starts to sail

Then lifts the globe up to the bed

Where a child's eyes turn from red

Shake the globe and let it snow

Watch how grace can overflow

Through glass and time and tears and light

Something sacred holds on tight

In this sphere of mystery

Every Christmas soul breaks free

Down on Seventh, neon glows

Through the diner's streaky windows

Where a trucker shares his pie

With a man who has no eyes

For anything but sorrow's weight

Till kindness fills an empty plate

Shake the globe and let it snow

Watch how grace can overflow

Through glass and time and tears and light

Something sacred holds on tight

In this sphere of mystery

Every Christmas soul breaks free

Empty chairs at tables set

Through the window moonlight spreads

Which Christmas was their last goodbye

Before the years began to fly

Now love still sets an extra place

With perfect faith in saving grace

Shake the globe and let it snow

Watch how grace can overflow

Through glass and time and tears and light

Something sacred holds on tight

In this sphere of mystery

Every Christmas soul breaks free

Let it snow, let it snow

Sacred moments overflow

Till every soul breaks free
