Silent Night

Tonight we lay snuggled And warm in our beds While the homeless have nothing To pillow their heads Tonight we’re with family Surrounding the tree While those on our doorstep Have nowhere to be Tonight we will feast And we’ll take it for granted While the starving take gladly Whatever they’re handed Tonight there’s a promise Of a happy tomorrow But for those on the street There is nothing but sorrow Tonight we have fortune And we’re hungry for more While hardly a penny Is spent on the poor Tonight we sing carols And sing them with love But we’re missing the message That comes from above Tonight we give praises To Jesus adored While forgetting the humble Birth of our Lord.
