Midnight falling, winter air

Hear a promise in the cold

Something’s knocking at the door

Like a story waiting to be told

Snow on rooftops, candlelight

Every window glowing warm

Old songs drifting through the night

Like a wish about to be born

Footsteps echo, soft but clear

Through the quiet of the street

Every year it finds us here

Right where hope and silence meet

Open up, don’t be afraid

Let the moment step inside

What you give is what you’ll gain

When the stars align tonight

Shchedryk, hear it ring

Bells of fortune, bells of grace

Good news riding on the wind

Finding every open place

Shchedryk, let it stay

Let it light the darkest room

What is lost will find its way

Every winter turns to bloom

Ooh-

The bells arrive

Ooh-

Right on time

Fields asleep beneath the frost

Dreaming of a brighter day

Nothing given is ever lost

Every kindness finds its way

Gold or grain or simple peace

All the gifts don’t look the same

But the more your heart believes

The richer every year becomes again

Step outside, feel the sound

Like it’s calling out your name

What was buried will be found

Every spark becomes a flame

Shchedryk, hear it ring

Bells of promise, bells of cheer

Every song the night will sing

Means abundance drawing near

Shchedryk, don’t delay

Let the old world turn anew

What you dream is on its way

Knocking softly just for you

If it’s money, let it come

If it’s love, then let it stay

If it’s nothing but the sun

Breaking through a darker day

Hold it close, then pass it on

That’s the way the magic grows

What you give is never gone

It just circles back to you in gold

Shchedryk, hear it ring

Ancient hope in modern time

Every bell is blessing things

Turning water into wine

Shchedryk, sing it loud

Let it echo year to year

From the silence to the crowd

This is how the light gets here

Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivka

Hear the bells, the promise clear

Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivka

Good fortune found us here
