One, two, three, four gifts from Santa Claus
But I’d give them away
All today.
Lourdes a leaping, turtle doves, pipers piping
Just give away love
That’s all I want.
And I know there’s a reason for the season
I don’t want gifts I want something to believe in.
Two, four, eight ten
Stand in line at the soup kitchen
For a meal
And strength to heal.
While I have too much food to eat
Knitted scarves, gloves
Socks on my feet
Such a treat.
And I know there’s a reason for the season
Grace and hope, that’s something I believe in.
Helping those who need it
The hungry, poor and the freezing
So take my coat if you need it
If I never ever see another winter autumn or a spring
What can I bring with me? nothing.
So store up all your treasure in your soul.
Oh Christmas time
All the tress and lights are fine
But true Christmas cheer is to be kind
Change your point of view
And help out those who may be blue,
I tell ya friend, you’ll be feelin fine.
