Seems The Polar Express is on television now about as much as It's a Wonderful Life used to be. Makes for a good excuse to curl up with the kids on the couch, though, so I'm not complaining. These times pass all too quickly..."Mommy, let's snuggle!". I know too soon it will be replaced with, "I'll be back later...going to a friend's house" or "Snuggle? Mom! I'm 16!". So I'm going to take advantage of it now.
A couple songs in the movie are really beautiful and spell out what our hearts should be feeling this time of year. Here's one we love...
BELIEVE
Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Just believe
