Sing me a sad Christmas song
about the toys that never found a home,
collecting dust upon some shelf
wishing they were something else,
something popular, in demand
so some child will reach out their hand
making adventures to call their own,
returning to a place called "home"...
Sing me a sad Christmas carol
about how hopes die and dream unravel,
how peace on earth and good will towards men
are good ideas, but where to begin?
how the spirit of the season comes and goes,
leaving torn wrapping paper and the same woes
that were there before you decked the halls,
the same writing is upon the wall...
Sing me a sad Christmas tune
about how presents don't dispel the gloom
how the worrying and scurrying for forgotten gifts
doesn't prove love of family any more that a greeting kiss
how we became lost in the spirit and forgot our souls,
how we lost our innocence when marketing to control
how the holidays have become a time to forget
when the proof of love is not how much you get...
Christmas 2009
