Someone saw Santa on the rooftop Somebody saw him in the sky Somebody said that there were reindeer Somebody told me they could fly Someone said he’s coming my way Somebody said he’s stopping by Someone saw Santa on the rooftop Somebody saw him in the sky Santa please Visit me Tonight Someone saw Santa in Chicago Somebody saw him in Illinois Somebody said that he was making a list Someone told me it was good girls and boys Someone said he had a big red bag Somebody told me it was full of toys Someone saw Santa in Chicago Somebody saw him in Illinois Santa please Visit me It’s Christmas Eve Tonight Someone saw Santa in a cornfield Somebody saw him in the pale moonlight Someone said that he was smiling Somebody told me he was beaming bright Someone said they heard him exclaim As he rode out of sight “Merry Christmas to all And to all a goodnight” Santa please Visit me It’s Christmas Eve I made cookies Alright

Rome wasn’t built in a day It’s impossible There’s just no way We are not islands unto ourselves We all rely upon each other for help I’m talking ‘bout Stepping stones, stepping stones Stepping stones, stepping stones Shakespeare didn’t write every play in a day It’s impossible There’s just no way We soak in what we see And we try to understand We’re all gonna need a helping hand I’m talking ‘bout Stepping stones, stepping stones Stepping stones, stepping stones Real life is not the same every day It’s impossible There’s just no way We demand the answers Right here right now We’ll never find them unless we slow down And use our Stepping stones, stepping stones Stepping stones, stepping stones

Goodbye sun Hello moon It’s time to go to bed Lay down your head Goodbye sun Hello moon It’s time to close your eyes Drift into the skies Goodbye sun Hello moon It’s time to turn off the light Everything’s alright Goodbye sun Hello moon It’s time for us to sleep There’s no need to weep Goodbye sun Hello moon My angel I love you

about

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
