You were always there for us
Always just the three of us
From rainy days to sunsets
From chilly days to stormy nights in the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, you and only you! In the Winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

This morning, I took Lily s book back to my library
And I found her hidden letter
Underneath, underneath the Christmas tree
It was addressed to you, so let me read it
Let me read to you

Dear God, humans may have different stories
But we all share similar worries
Vulnerable and afraid but our love and faith
Helped us survive the stolen years

In the middle of the night, I prayed silently
I said the bomb attacks seem to last forever
Dear God, please let us survive or at least, all die together
It's terrifying to live in fear
horrifying to survive endless nights in tears
Every day could have been the last
Dear God, we're conscious of that!

You were always there for us
Always just the three of us
From rainy days to sunsets
From chilly days to stormy nights in the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, you and only you! In the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

It took a lot of courage to leave loved ones and walk behind
Taking this step was a sign, a sign of desperation
With no comfort and emotional support at all
The three of us started over from zero
Mum calmed me down and said
I promise you, we will have everything we left

I've learned from young age people come and go
My selfish father left me at five years old
A violent stepfather abused us during so much difficult times
A loveless marriage with only twenty
Never felt true love and emotional safety
Time heals all wounds, they say
But you can't heal broken trust and open scars

You were always there for us
Always just the three of us
From rainy days to sunsets
From chilly days to stormy nights in the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, you and only you! In the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You are always there for us
At all times just the three of us
Dear God, thank you for protecting us
2gether 4ever, it's just the three of us!
You ARE always there for us
At all times just the three of us
Dear God, thank you for protecting us
2gether 4ever, it's just the three of us!

When we were trapped in the circle of life
Losing our identity was an emotional nightmare
Fighting decades of rejection, a mental torture
You were always there for us
Always just the three of us
From rainy days to sunsets
From chilly days to stormy nights in the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, you and only you! In the winter
Yeah, you and only you! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

God, I don't have your postal address
So I use my chimney and forward Lily s letter to Father Christmas
