The Day I Gave

The Day I gave, it was Christmas for me Where the old man lying on the street could not feed I moved a step forward and gave him some food to eat For me that was Christmas the day I could see someone eat A woman in the corner shivered with cold, No fire to warm her no blanket to mould I moved a step forward and gave her my jacket to warm her For me that was Christmas the day I gave what I wore And as I walked down the street I saw a kid running with bare feet With nails piercing and stones hurting It was a little boy so innocent and sweet I stopped him and gave him my shoes to run For me that was Christmas the day my feet had non For the day I gave, it was Christmas for me - Sherwin Fernandes
