Go Elmo Go
	(written by Mike Bryant)


[Verse 1]
Elmo had big plans
For a starry winter sky
But he tripped on both his antlers
When he tried to leap and fly

The others laughed in circles
By the fence of powdered snow
Elmo just shook it off
Like, "One day I'll get the call"

[Pre-Chorus]
He'd stare past the barn
At that moonlit trail
Dreaming of the team
Pulling Santa's sleigh

[Chorus]
Go, Elmo, go
Take the lead, don't stop
Go, Elmo, go
To the top, to the top
When the night gets cold
And the whole world needs a spark
Go, Elmo, go
Straight through the dark

[Verse 2]
Christmas crept up slowly
With bells along the roof
Then Comet caught a fever
And couldn't do the route

Santa paced the stable
With a list and worried eyes
He looked right at Elmo
And said, "Kid, it's your time"

[Pre-Chorus]
Elmo's knees shook hard
But he took one breath
Then he saw the team
And he raised his head

[Chorus]
Go, Elmo, go
Take the lead, don't stop
Go, Elmo, go
To the top, to the top
When the night gets cold
And the whole world needs a spark
Go, Elmo, go
Straight through the dark

[Bridge]
He almost clipped a chimney
Over Maple Street
Lost one mitten of courage
Then found his steady feet

The team fell right behind him
Like a river through the sky
Elmo heard the laughter
Turn to cheers in the night

[Final Chorus]
Go, Elmo, go
Take the lead, don't stop
Go, Elmo, go
To the top, to the top
When the bells ring out
And the children lift their hearts
Go, Elmo, go
Straight through the dark

Go, Elmo, go
You were made for this
Go, Elmo, go
Now the season's lit
And the laugh turns loud
For the reindeer who believed
Go, Elmo, go
You saved Christmas Eve
