lyrics

Santa Claus is Everywhere (written by Jimmy Cowan)

Don’t listen to those children when they gossip and persist
That our beloved Santa doesn’t actually exist
They just don’t understand and now they’re on his list
Oh Santa Claus is everywhere

He’s the feeling that you get as the sun rises from the sea
He’s inside our bones he's in every breath that we breathe
He’s in the soul of you he’s in the soul of me
Oh Santa Claus is everywhere

When you feel down low and beat up
And desperation’s oozing from your pores
Take a deep breath and think about
All the things you're grateful for
Like a special gift from ol’ St. Nick
You’ll forget what the trouble was
It’s a year round Christmas trick
Courtesy of Santa Claus

He’ll make your dreams come true if you’re feelin’ blue
Santa’s right there by your side
Believing’s all ya gotta do
Oh what fun it is to ride
When your nights are dark and your days are cold
And you're down to your last straw
Write a letter with every single wish
And send it off to Santa Claus

So don’t listen to those kids when they tell you to grow up
Trust what’s in your heart that will be enough
Shout out Ho, Ho, Ho like you haven’t got a care
Cause Santa Claus is everywhere
