Every Child a Smile This Christmas

I don't want gold I don't want diamonds Papaa please don't buy me pearls Frankincense and myrrh are good for my soul Sapphires,emeralds and rubies reflect so fine on my ebony skin But this Christmas i don't want those I want luminous smiles in the face of each and every child For every key in my piano Every chord in my guitar Lord let little ones' laughter be the soundtrack Their bliss will be my mirth This Christmas. And for the fallen ones Innocence stolen too early My friends and i will burn candles Light bonfires all over the world y'all Make sure folks see their babies dancing up above Smiles dazzling brighter than the sparkling stars Oh their bliss lets make it our mirth This Christmas. I could take a safari Africa is pretty warm and colorful this time of the year Or visit Sendai Pageant of Starlight Now that would be a sight to behold Perhaps even fly over see my Irish mum Oh what else would a goddaughter want more? But for this Christmas I want luminous smiles in the face of each and every child For every key in my piano Every chord in my guitar Lord let little ones' laughter be the soundtrack Their bliss will be my mirth This Christmas. And for the fallen ones Innocence stolen too early My friends and i will burn candles Light bonfires all over the world y'all Make sure folks see their babies dancing up above Smiles dazzling brighter than the sparkling stars Oh their bliss lets make it our mirth This Christmas. All i need this Christmas; For every child a smile! #EveryChildASmile (World Vision Campaign) Merry Christmas everybody! Spread the love spread the cheer Love you all!
