lyrics

Christmas Trumps Cynicism

snowy streets and greeting cards
twinkle lights in all the yards
are we near or are we far
from hope this year?

I read of once an infant boy
who filled the barren night with noise
in cries of terror and of joy
was hope that year

chorus
and only the wise men were foolish enough
to follow a star in the eastern sky
oh please Christmas remind us
to look for the star in the eastern sky

so as we fill our shopping carts
for those we carry in our hearts
let’s say a prayer that we could start
to dream this year

to tell the truth in love and grace
to see the light in every face
and have the courage to embrace
a hope this year

chorus

there was no room in the inn
for new life to begin
but still a baby’s cry did pierce the night
to bring us hope, to bring us light

so is there room in our hearts
to dream a different dream to live as art
to risk the falling down and the standing up
to heal our broken hearts and fill our cups

chorus x 2
