From My Lips To Santa's Ears
When I was a child I wrote to you for years
Asking for things that every child admired
Thank you Santa, but now I've many fears
For which, as a grown up answers are required
Man has made his mark in science for good
But the greedy turns it round to cause evil
Half the world is struggling for their food
While the powerful humans breed ill will
Wars are threats to peace on Mother Earth
Those who leave their soil become homeless
And in refugee camps mothers still give birth
Christmas time is hard and they are restless
Dear Santa you must visit every earthling
Fear not; a peace message in their stocking
