Decorations strewn across ceilings and rooms
Trees appearing in windows everywhere
The whole scene has senses reeling
Manages for now to banish a sense of despair.
A news clip on a tv set
Shows more discord war and horror
Famine and poverty they want us to see
There will be no Christmas for these people tomorrow.
I've an ache inside
A longing to put things right
To give some children a sleigh ride
They'd long for on Christmas night.
Western world and all its greed
Makes me cringe inside and groan
Why can't all these people be freed
From a prison thats no making of their own.
Christmas is a time of peace and goodwill
A time to stand together and unite
Instead we have people who are out to kill
Rapists, murderers and bad people, all looking for a fight.
Christmas spirit creates a childlike innocence
Which adults are determined to spoil
None of it is making sense
Why can't parents, to their kids, remain loyal.
Take a moment to look around
At all the festivities and fun
Why then are you looking beyond
These people who are all alone?
Spare a thought for all the homeless
The lonely and the scared
For those who cannot help themselves
And for those who's souls are bared.
I can't put the world to right i know
I can't make war and horror go away
For some people there is no end to woe
Maybe peace can be reached for just one Christmas Day?
