Lyrics

Life's too short to sit in this house
Let me out, Let me out, Let me out

Let me see the morning light, let me hear God's Silent Night, then I'll be alright, then I'll be alright, then I'll be alright.

Life's too short to close this door
Why can't we help the poor
Life'a too short not to call a friend
Why can't we let, let them in

Let me see the morning light, let me hear God's Silent Night, then I'll be alright, then I'll be alright, then I'll be alright.

Life's too short not to live everyday
Why can't we live like it's our last day
Life's too short and it's slipping away

Let me see the morning light, let me hear God's Silent Night, then I'll be alright, then I'll be alright, then I'll be alright.

Then I'll be alright
Let me see the morning light
Let me hear God's Silent Night
Let me see the morning light
Let me hear God's Silent Night
