| The lights around the Christmas tree don’t burn as bright
|
| And all around the world it isn’t a silent night
|
| Outside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling
|
| But somehow there’s a sadness in the song
|
| In our hearts we know that something’s wrong
|
| It’s a different kind of Christmas
|
| In a different kind of world
|
| Even though it looks the same
|
| Everything has changed
|
| It’s a different kind of Christmas
|
| Children opening gifts with wonder and surprise
|
| I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes
|
| I used to feel so safe inside I had a place to run and hide
|
| In my daddy’s arms I felt secure
|
| No one can protect us anymore
|
| It’s a different kind of Christmas
|
| In a different kind of world
|
| Even though it looks the same
|
| Everything has changed
|
| It’s a different kind of Christmas
|
| Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer
|
| Oh that’s what we need if we’d only believe
|
| It would be!
|
| It’s a different kind of Christmas
|
| In a different kind of world
|
| Even though it looks the same
|
| Everything has changed |
