Let them feel the love that they don't feel
in a boxcar on a train.
Take their hands unsteady as they are.
Let them feel welcome home.
All they've seen is caravans and roads,
so many people on their way,
runnin' scared, their children in their arms,
nowhere safe to pass the night.
So let us please open up a door.
Take them in. It's only right.
Don't say, "Lord, your life was all in vain,"
this year's only Christmas night.
