This Christmas Prayer

Christmas' what a wonderful time of year

But it can also be a dark and lonely time

And if you don't spend it with those you truly love

Well, it can feel just like any other day

So this is a prayer for the lonely

Especially those children all around the world

Whose hearts have been torn apart this year.

So pardon my tears, things are different this year

There's a cry I can't ignore

I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish

I'm praying this Christmas prayer

That wherever you are may the bright morning star

Lead you to someone who cares.

Well, Jimmy Stewart's on my screen again

Man I miss those simple black and white days

Then someone hits the remote and I see the sad dark eyes

Of a young girl on the other side of the world

And I think about the things she's had to see

Things my children can't even imagine.

So pardon my tears, things are different this year

There's a cry I can't ignore

I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish

I'm praying this Christmas prayer

That whoever you are know that God's shining star

Leads you to someone who cares.

So whoever you are know that God's shining star

Always leads you to someone who cares...
