Array of Lights Songtext
von Damian Wilson

As a small child on the cusp of Christmas day
I rose from my bed on hearing Santa′s sleigh
Following the noise, I hurried down the stairs
To see my father, his hands were open there

With an array of lights
A glittering assortment of tiny balls
Standing in his sight
My father's face it glowed
Every year the same
Reaching from a chair
He′d decorate the room
Covering all that's there

And as a child I grew
To then become a man
Offspring at my feet
I'd congratulate my dad


On his array of lights
Glittering assortment of tiny balls
Standing in his sight
My father′s face would glow
With an array of lights
A glittering assortment of tiny balls
Not until that time
Did Christmas truly show

Then one time he fell
And never was the same
Before the year was out
I felt my whole world change

On the way to church
Short of midnight Christmas Eve
My youngest in the car
Points and says to me

What an array of lights
A glittering assortment of tiny balls
Grandad′s in the sky
Showing God where they all go
With his array of lights
A glittering assortment of tiny balls
Standing there that night
I felt my father's glow


With an array of lights
Making Christmas glow
With an array of lights
Making Christmas glow
