Back Against the Wall

L-et sixteenth December
E-rase the Thursday night; 
O-pening the early morn, 
N-ever mind the twilight.
I-t's a lovely Friday, 
D-on't ignore the beacon; 
A-s he begins to rise, shining on your horizon.

M-orning sun in the sky
O-bliterates the shadow; 
R-apture and mirth he brings
A-re far away from sorrow.
D-on't let your eyes cry, when the heavy raindrops fall; 
A-llow your heart to be brave, with your back against the wall.
