Surviving Christmas |
| Let’s build a man from all the snow |
| That fell to earth not long ago |
| We’ll dress him up, give him a nose |
| Some stones for eyes that he can’t close |
| The snow is melting in the sun |
| But he will freeze when day is done |
| He can’t come in, he’ll have to stay |
| Out in the cold, out on display |
| Surviving christmas is no abnormal feat |
| To any snowman frozen on the street |
| But an avalanche of vile debris |
| Can bring a snowman to his knees |
| He has a wife, they have two boys |
| They had a life that fate destroyed |
| He’ll cross an ocean in the desperate hope |
| That compassion awaits at the end of his rope |
| We pride ourselves with empathy |
| And wear it like an accessory |
| Yet the plight of others don’t fit in here |
| At least not now, this time of year |
| Surviving christmas is no abnormal feat |
| To any snowman frozen on the street |
| But an avalanche of vile debris |
| Can bring a snowman to his knees |
| Our homes lit up by Christmas lights |
| And folks who share the human right |
| To safety, love and decency |
| Especially on Christmas Eve |
| The snowman right outside your door |
| Is no exception though we tend to ignore |
| The frosted souls with no hats, no decor |
| Melted down or washed ashore |
| They didn’t want to leave their home |
| They simply have nowhere else to go |
| This tired lesson is nothing new |
| So what good can these few couplets do? |
| If you’re still singing along with me |
| I’m sure you wouldn’t disagree |
| That Christmas only truly begins |
| When we invite the snowman in |
