Christmas Tears

CHILDREN ARE HAPPY AT CHRISTMAS 

FOR THEM IT’S A TIME OF GREAT JOY

AND MOM BRINGS LOTS OF NICE PRESENTS 

TO EACH LITTLE GIRL AND BOY

FOR I AM JUST ONE LITTLE BOY

WHO WON’T GET A TOY

MY MOM CAN’T BUY ME A NICE PRESENT

OR A CHRISTMAS TREE

THIS WORLD IS HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE

ESPECIALLY A POOR CHILD LIKE ME 

I AM JUST A POOR LONELY CHILD 

IN A WORLD GOD MADE FOR US ALL

WHY SHOULD FEW LIVE IN RICHES

WHEN OTHERS HAVE NOTHING AT ALL?

MILLIONS ARE SPENT ON

GREAT WEAPONS THAT COULD END IT ALL MUCH TOO 

SOON

OH HOW I WISH THAT ON THIS HOLY CHRISTMAS 

MEN WILL GIVE UP THIS VANITY

AND START HELPING CHILDREN LIKE ME.
