Is It Christmas Again
No matter how hard I try thoughts of
Christmas leave me with a sad sigh
Why on that one day people promise
Peace and joy to the world and
On the very next day those feeling run cold
That wonderful spirit felt on that night
Is diminished and not shining bright
How can it be gone from one day to the next
That is why I feel always perplexed
When bells are ringing and choruses are singing
Gifts under the tree are supposed to bring joy
I remember a time when there was not even a toy
No cookies or candies no tree graced the room
Only for a few hours the bombing did not resume
In a dark room we huddled glad to be alive
It made me realize life can be strife
For me to have Christmas Spirit I need to know
Those feelings of love and peace can be stowed
Not only on Christmas but day after day
Hatred and killings cannot have their way
What will it take for a change and the truth
I don't want to have every Christmas the blues!
