Why Christmas |
Mike: hey, whats wrong squirt? |
Wanya: I dont know man. |
sometimes around this time of year I just get depressed. |
Mike: man, this isnt the time of year to be depressed. |
its the time to be happy |
and |
Giving, man. |
Wanya: you know, sometimes I think about things that are happening in the world |
today, |
Things I didnt have. |
I just feel like crying. |
Mike: we all feel that way sometimes. |
but, itll be alright. |
Wanya: I just, I just wonder why. |
Every day at this time of year |
I wonder time and time again |
Why are kids suffering? |
All of the tears cause being caught in the crossfire (why?) |
Somebody tell me why |
As the joyous day comes along |
The eldest feel theres something wrong |
Hes looking for mom but shes not there |
Kids are looking for reindeer in the air |
She messed up again |
Why? |
My brother and my sister |
They aint got no toys |
What am I supposed to do When growing up for me wasnt joy? |
Its gonna be a why christmas |
Its gonna be, its gonna be a A why christmas |
No one was there but grandma and her friends |
A time of heartache is setting in Theres nothing I can do Just sit and feel pain run me through |
I often wished they were never born |
The thought of them not having no toys |
Their little hearts were torn |
I was young and I cried as well |
I didnt have a job |
But I prayed to the lord that thered be better days |
Yes, he gave me a reason to live |
He gave me a sign |
But I still think to that day when |
Brother and my Brother and my Brother and my Sister |
(repeats a lot) |
