Is Santa Coming?

Is Santa coming? Can you hear above Are reindeer running? Bring presents of love Why’s mother crying? Cradling her son The world is lying No peace for anyone, anyone! Is Santa coming? Or is it a lie? No one is smiling Although we all try That noise above you Is not quite what you think That sound above you Is killing everything, everything! I thought this was the time of year When everyone lives without fear I thought this was the time of year When everyone lives without fear! Without fear! Angels are calling Can you hear their sigh The snow is falling White petals on high They build a snowman Place a carrot for his nose Black coal for eyes Slippers for freezing toes Freezing toes!
