Gifts Kids Can’t Break

I walk for miles, up and down the aisles
It’s a holiday routine
To find that special plastic, I know it seems a little drastic
But how I love that Christmas morning scene

When the kids tear through the wrapping
And they smile and look so happy
But somehow by the end of the day
We find the kids in tears and what we thought would last for years
Has to be repaired or thrown away

(1 Where) (2 These) are the gifts kids can’t break
That’ll be there tomorrow when they awake
Whatever it costs, whatever it takes,
That’s what I wanna give
Something that will last as long as they live
Where are the gifts kids can’t break

But we can use December as a season to remember
There are really gifts that really stand the test of time
Like a home that is a place where it’s warm and where it’s safe
And a smile don’t even cost a single dime

Teach them how to love their neighbor
And the value of their labor
And how to say I’m sorry when they’re wrong
How to act out on a date
And tell them why we celebrate
The One we sing about in all these Christmas songs

Cho 2

Guaranteed to last as long as they live
These are the gifts kids can’t break
