CHRISTMAS ALONE

Like lone soldier, wounded from war 
That mends his heart from place afar 
On a nature away from home 
He's left to wander and to roam 

But he's trained to live on his own 
And to spend a Christmas alone 
When there's no other, there's no choice 
He can converse with his own voice 

Christmas alone also is fun
Alone, one dazzles like the sun 
Don't find someone when you're alone 
Try to be happy to the bone
