Lyrics
Verse 1
Free fall
Feet off the ground
A clean white page
Fresh snow, no sound
Verse 2
Here as we wait
From dark to dawn
New paths before us
The old is gone
Chorus
Unplug the lights
Take down the tree
The less we have
The less we need
From Christmas night
To New Year’s Eve
We bless the space that’s in between
We bless the space that’s in between
Verse 3
December ends
Make way for dreams
Wait for the light
To raise the spring
Verse 4
Embrace it all
From hope to doubt
Like ocean waves
Washin’ in and out
Verse 5
Two worlds apart
Come close again
Where do you stop?
Where do I begin?
Chorus
Each year we learn
More what it means
To bless the space that’s in between
We bless the space that’s in between
Bridge
We bless the seeds under the snow
We bless the patience, take it slow
We bless the limits, bless the tears
We bless the failures that brought us here
Outro
I wipe the frost
The glass is cold
Our dreams beneath the falling snow
Be Thou my vision
Until I see
And bless the space that’s in between

Meaning & Inspiration
This reflective song centers on the stretch between Christmas night and New Year's Eve, a stretch it names "the space that's in between". Winter imagery fills the verses, with fresh snow, a "clean white page", a tree taken down and lights unplugged, and the idea that "The less we have / The less we need".
The refrain turns waiting into something to be blessed instead of hurried through. Later lines extend that blessing to "the seeds under the snow", patience, limits, tears and failures, treating each as part of how the singer and the people around them arrived where they are. The wording moves between hope and doubt, compared to ocean waves washing in and out.
Near the end, the line "Be Thou my vision" borrows from the well-known Irish hymn, placing the pause of the turning year under a prayer for guidance. The song reads as a quiet meditation on waiting and trust.
