Brightly coloured paper
Underneath a tree
People turning back to
Find their families
A table on a back porch
A gentle evening breeze
And through a window lights upon a tree

And everywhere its Christmas
And what did you receive
A visit from a loved one
A kiss on Christmas eve
And somewhere on an altar
A single candelight
And everywhere its Christmas day tonight

Orana to Christmas Day
Orana to Christmas Day
Orana to Christmas Day tonight

A child is singing carols
On someone's radio
A letter from a lost friend
From long long ago
Somebody is sitting
In a room alone
Remembering old Christmas days at home

And everywhere its Christmas
And what did you receive
A visit from a loved one
A kiss on Christmas eve
And somewhere on an altar
A single candelight
And everywhere its Christmas day tonight

Orana to Christmas Day
Orana to Christmas Day
Orana to Christmas Day tonight.
