On Christmas Day
On Christmas day I cried,
No family to hug.
Only a blessed pair of shoulders to shrugg.
Cough drops and lost salvia.
Precipitation hot as lava.
Living room packed yet so empty.
Heavy tears yet no sympathy.
On Christmas day I cried!
Game of memory in this darkened scenery.
Ready to be prosecuted,
Life or execute me!
Open gifts in heaven,
Unwrap love at eleven.
Lord knows on Christmas day I cried!
Bury me an ornament on a broken tree.
Let the world know I was all I could be!
When it all ends, it'll all be the same.
The ground will still flood when it rains.
Now you know on Christmas day I cried!!
