What Is Christmas? |
By this time a harder rocking stage |
Would be impossible to find |
And though no one was now drinking |
The owner did not seem to mind |
And the angel marveled how one man |
Could turn around a life |
And then that life turn around another’s |
And how it rippled through this night |
But there was someone in that room |
Whose heart had not been changed |
A heart that had grown so hard |
You’d have thought it could never be arranged |
It was the businessman from downtown |
Who had stopped there to rest his feet |
And he clung to his drink |
(where he watched his thoughts sink) |
While any strangers, he refused to greet |
You could see upon his face |
How happiness had been so long deferred |
It was practically as if unhappiness |
Had somehow become preferred |
Now the angel had not seen the businessman |
Though they had in that room been near |
Nor did the angel see him as he left the bar |
When he could no longer stand this christmas cheer |
And as the businessman exited the door |
He heard someone complaining on the tv |
It was the «grinch"ranting against christmas |
And the man found that he agreed |
What is christmas? |
Tinseled fairytales |
Day old stockings lined up in a row |
What is christmas |
Could someone tell me that? |
What is christmas? |
Surely, i don’t know |
And everywhere these lights |
Who needs to color night? |
Could this whole thing be planned? |
I do not understand |
This christmas |
Trees with colored lights |
Underneath they still are only trees |
Do you think that one day perhaps they might |
Find that christmas |
Is kind of a disease? |
Every year it’s waiting for me |
Waiting for me |
Every year it constantly defies |
Placing strangers |
There before me |
There before me |
Spreading hope and cheer |
Mixed in with happiness |
Fraternal bliss and other christmas lies! |
And there’s one more thing that i have discovered |
And i would now like you to know |
The reason for christmas i now realize |
Is an excuse to tolerate snow |
Snow! |
I don’t even like the sound of it |
Anyway, where was i |
Oh, yes! |
What is christmas? |
Candles everywhere |
A fire hazard any other day |
Children light them |
No one seems to care |
All for christmas |
Every year it returns here |
And every year it’s waiting for me |
Why can’t christmas disappear |
And just pretend it never saw me |
Every year i get my hopes up |
That it will somehow just leave |
But every year i wake to find |
That once again it now is christmas eve |
