about

It was in spring 2019 when Kristin K. Smith and Rob Georg asked themselves the following question: Does the world need another Christmas Song? After weighing up the pros and cons for some days, the answer was a clear yes. But it had to be something different, their plan was to think out of the box when starting this special project. They came up with the idea to write this song out of a soldier’s perspective, far away from home, on foreign ground, missing his or her loved ones and dreaming of being home for celebrating Christmas together with them.

Writer, producer and vocal coach Kristin K. Smith had an ace up her sleeve. She asked no other than Corey Lee Barker, NACMAI songwriter of the year 2012, to join the project and give his incredibly skillful Christmas Song talent into the song.The team worked for several weeks and came up with a totally different Christmas Song in the end. A song, that delivers a Christmas feel on one hand, but also includes a “Thanks for your service” vibe on the other, honoring the women and men in uniform, who sacrifice so much, sometimes everything, to protect our freedom.

Though the 3 writers know that their Christmas Wish will not be fulfilled for every soldier, they do hope that as many modern day heroes as possible may have a peaceful Christmas at home with their families and friends. And for all the others, who will not make it home for the holidays, stay safe and have a Merry Christmas, wherever you are. And for those who gave everything, we will never forget!

Maybe you can also invite a veteran to join you and your family for having dinner on Christmas Eve. We owe them a lot, we owe them our freedom, we owe them that we can celebrate in peace, make them part of it, it's Christmas, it's the time to show love and to give back.

lyrics

Feels like I'm half a world away
But I close my eyes and see your face
And every day is one more day
Closer to you

Every night on foreign ground
As I lay my gun an helmet down
I can almost hear the sound
Of peace breaking through

Chorus
When I make it home for Christmas
I'm gonna wrap you in my arms
You will find all your wishes
Right here in my heart
We'll dance by the fire
Celebrate life
As I cover you in kisses
When I make it home for Christmas

At night I look up at the sky
Pretend the stars are Christmas lights
Draped across our tree and I
I think of you

I bow my head and say a prayer
A Christmas wish I hope God hears
That you feel me over there
And I hope you do

When I make it home for Christmas
I'm gonna wrap you in my arms
You will find all your wishes
Right here in my heart
We'll dance by the fire
Celebrate life
As I cover you in kisses
When I make it home for Christmas

Oh oh oh
I can't wait 'til we touch down
And I plant my feet in my hometown
And the snow starts softly falling all around us

When I make it home for Christmas
I'm gonna wrap you in my arms
You will find all your wishes
Right here in my heart
We'll dance by the fire
Celebrate life
As I cover you in kisses
When I make it home for Christmas

Feels like I'm half a world away
But I close my eyes and see your face
And every day is one more day
Closer to you
