“Surviving Christmas” is a simple song with a big message. Co-written by Norwegian singer Sondre Lerche and American arranger Jherek Bischoff, it is warm, orchestral pop tune with vocals projected like that of a 1950s crooner and classic, broad screen instrumentation as bold as that of a 1960s girl group. While bereft of irony or cynicism, it is not without a message. The lyrics urge acceptance in an era where humanitarian & refugee crisis seem endemic all over the globe. As Sondre sings: “I’m sure you wouldn’t disagree / That Christmas only truly begins / When we invite the snowman in”


LYRICS
Let’s build a man from all the snow
That fell to earth not long ago

We’ll dress him up, give him a nose
Some stones for eyes that he can’t close

The snow is melting in the sun
But he will freeze when day is done

He can’t come in, he’ll have to stay
Out in the cold, out on display

Surviving Christmas is no abnormal feat
To any snowman frozen on the street

But an avalanche of vile debris
Will bring a snowman to his knees

He has a wife, they have two boys
They had a life that fate destroyed

He’ll cross an ocean in desperate the hope
That compassion awaits at the end of his rope

We pride ourselves with empathy
And wear it like an accessory

Yet the plight of others don’t fit in here
At least not now, this time of year

Surviving Christmas is no abnormal feat
To any snowman frozen on the street

But an avalanche of vile debris
Will bring a snowman to his knees

Our homes lit up by Christmas lights
and folks who share the human right

To safety, love and decency
Especially on Christmas Eve

The snowman right outside your door
Is no exception though we tend to ignore

The frosted souls with no hats, no decor
Melted down or washed ashore

They didn’t want to leave their home
They simply had nowhere else to go

This tired lesson is nothing new
So what good can these few couplets do?

If you’re still singing along with me
I’m sure you wouldn’t disagree

That Christmas only truly begins
When we invite the snowman in
