Christmas Magic
There was no heat and the shelves were bare
One step from the street oh how life isn't fair
Laying her three children in bed and shutting off the light
And thinking in her head I just can't win this fight
Laying down on her chair with a tear in her eye
This Christmas will be so bare as she started to cry
No tree to be seen but one little gift for each
When times are so lean it's such a bitter lesson to teach
When on Christmas morning around six o'clock she woke to a noise
It was a man with a loud knock and a whole lot of toys
As she opened up the door he yelled out "Santa is here"
She almost fell to the floor as yet came another tear
He was a man from the parish who was told of her need
Three kids missing Christmas just made his heart bleed
Yes he had plenty but he too would be alone
His kids he'd rarely see as apart they have grown
So he took it upon himself to help out this one family
But in sharing his wealth what a return he would see
About to go on his way as his work was now done
She said, "Please won't you stay, please, share in our fun"(Joy)
