ABOUT THIS SONG Something happens as the years stack up and we get farther and farther away from the beautiful child vibration that defines us...still. It starts with learning about the importance of leaving make believe behind. Perhaps it was when your imaginary friend was banished from the house. Perhaps its when you got laughed at when you shared about the fairies and the dwarfs in the forest that you know and love. Perhaps its when the Easter Bunny was set hoppin', or when the Tooth Fairy, stopped leaving quarts when you saw your mom with a hand under the pillow that night. But the one thing we have tried to hold on to through thick and thin has been Santa Claus. There is something magical about this one. He gave presents and joy and a bright moment or two to every boy and girl in the world...that's something special that we just do not want to toss on the pile of childish thinking...somehow if Santa Claus remained real then everything, no matter the form, would be OK. It was in 2003 when my daughter, Gabriela, exclaimed, "only one more day till Christmas!". It was innocent and it was authentic. And...it was impactful...I felt it like a smack on the side of the head...an explosion in the heart area...it came out in a fast series of visions of Christmas as a boy...the Sears catalog dog-eared pages, the promises, the anticipation, the disappointment, the opening of the packages...the gratitude for Santa...and then it slid right out my heart,"I still believe in Santa Claus"...and there it was...my CHristmas Eve song. It poured right out and was done in 20 minutes, like a special delivery from Santa himself. ...I see myself when I was young and under that same trance...where is Santa Claus? It hit me right away in the middle of the writing, how we let our own inner child fade away and become so invested in being an adult, toeing the line...that is what believing in Santa Claus...it was maintaining the child self, that true place where our own inner celestial template of the Source expression that I Am ...is stored and held until we wake up on that Someday in Neverland...here I am at 49 I'm feeling like I'm 4...the child in me won't go away, he's always at the door...every wish I've ever had is still swirling in the air...I still believe in Santa Claus...I still believe he's there.... All I'm really asking is to never let your child fade...feed him with your hopes and wishes... ...here you go. This is the most bestest Christmas gift I can give you, my friend. You have to keep your inner child alive...you have to!. Listen to this song over and over until your mind is convinced. Then listen more until your heart opens and you start to feel him knocking at the inner sanctum door...ready to step out. Then, for God's sake, you must let her out...no excuses any more...Christmas is a time to celebrate... |

SONG LYRICS: WHERE IS SANTA CLAUS? The tree is up the lights are on A fire’s burning bright I’m staring into yesterday And dreaming of tonight Where is Santa Claus? Gabi shouts, “It’s one more day!” With laughter and a dance I see myself when I was young And under that same trance Where is Santa Claus? Here I am at 49 I’m feeling like I’m 4 The child in me won’t go away He’s always at the door Every wish I’ve ever had Is swirling in the air I still believe in Santa Claus I still believe he’s there It’s Christmas, Christmas Christmas I see the lights and smell the trees Of all my Christmas past No matter who or where I was My heart would always ask Where is Santa Claus? My head has all the answers I can set my child straight But how I love that moment When I throw that all away Where is Santa Claus? CHORUS All I’m really asking is to Never let your child fade Feed him with your hopes and wishes Christmas is a time to Celebrate © 2003.Music for Every Soul. All Rights Reserved. |
