Spotlight on Christmas |
| People love the working man |
| Who does the best that he can |
| But don’t forget all the horses and toys |
| Never could fix the poor, little, rich boys |
| People say they love the maid |
| Who sweats and toils just like a slave |
| But don’t forget all the diamonds and pearls |
| Never could fix the poor little rich girls |
| You can measure it in blood |
| You can measure it in mud |
| Let us say for these twelve days |
| Put the measuring away |
| 'Cause it’s Christmas |
| And the spotlight’s shining on Christmas |
| And the spotlight’s shining on us People love and people hate |
| People go and people wait |
| But don’t forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph |
| Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah |
| Don’t forget Jesus, Mary and Joseph |
| Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth |
| And they were each one quite odd |
| And mensch, a virgin and a God |
| But don’t forget that what kept them aflow |
| Floating through the desert doesn’t take a boat, no Don’t forget that what kept them above |
| Is unconditional love |
| And you can measure it in blood |
| You can measure it in mud |
| Let us say for these twelve days |
| Put the measuring away |
| 'Cause it’s Christmas |
| And the spotlight’s shining on Christmas |
| And the spotlight’s shining on us And the spotlight’s shining on Christmas |
| And the spotlight’s shining on People love the working man |
| Who does the best that he can |
| But don’t forget all the horses and toys |
| Never could fix the poor, little, rich boys |
