Santa’s Song (I Don’t Believe In Myself)
Words & Music by Taylor Ashton
All over the world, the children hear
About the one dressed in red, bringing presents and cheer
There are dolls that look like me on every shelf
But sometimes I don’t believe in myself
Every night since November, I’ve had that dream
Where I don’t have it in me, and I let down my team
I believe in every reindeer, I believe in every elf
But sometimes I don’t believe in myself
I keep thinking, who am I
To believe I am able to fly
Around the world in one night,
And to decide who is naughty and who is nice?
Who am I?
It’s the night before Christmas and I’m so full of doubt
I keep forgetting what this whole thing’s about
They’re waiting for me everywhere, from Bangladesh to Guelph
But tonight I don’t believe in myself
I keep thinking, who am I
To believe I am able to fly
Around the world in one night,
And to decide who is naughty and who is nice?
On these dark northern nights, I feel
Like I might not even be real -
Like my life is all a lie
Well, I thank you for listening when I need an ear
When I feel like a faker, just some guy with a beard
Well I guess we all have our struggles with our mental health
And sometimes we don’t believe in ourselves
From the first night of Christmas all the way to the twelfth,
I am trying to believe in myself
I am trying to believe in myself
Yeah I’m trying to believe in myself
