holiday home
on mechanic street
there’s a man who’s walking
through the cold
in flames
there’s a sweet salvation army band
there’s a drunk that’s begging
with his hands
outstretched
up towards the sky
up from the street
and on christmas day
i don’t want to be alone
i want to go back
to my holiday home
on the windowpane
there’s design through
all the frosted glass
and ice
i got a christmas tree
i strung with lights
to brighten all the lonely nights
to bring me back
to places
i have been
i go again
cause on christmas day
i don’t want to be alone
i want to go back
to my holiday home
my car just makes
blackened tracks
in the snow
i keep on looking out the windshield
worrying about the world
as i go home
i go
holiday home

crashing into christmas

crashing into christmas
i feel like i’m hanging on
to a string of lights
that’s not plugged in
that isn’t bright
the crowds at the mall
look harried and sad
i would have never thought
that christmas
could make me feel bad
i’m crashing into christmas
i’m sliding towards years end
but when i went
looking for your present
well that’s when i
felt like christmas
again
i feel like i could be
one step away
from making ruins of
the happy holiday
my neighbors are out
decorating their homes
i never thought that christmas
would make me
want to be left alone
i’m crashing into christmas….
all that i want
and all that i need
and all that’s to come
and all that used to be
i’m crashing into christmas

call me home
i heard a christmas carol
on the radio
i saw them putting up
lights and trees
heard a choir singing
about a song of joy
and how mankind wanted peace
there’s a star shining
over bethlehem
is it shining down
for all good men
i found dreams of hope
no matter where i’ve been
it’s christmas time again
from far away
i heard them call me home
where i know that i belong
and i’ve roamed for many
miles and years
i still sing a lonely song
there’s an angel
telling me i got a friend
i’m taking any comfort
she can lend
it’s a holiday
and we’ve got time to spend
it’s christmas time
again

children children
in the quiet
between night and morning
light was falling from a star
it fell on children
the sleeping children
in the hour
before the dawn
dreams can keep them
in a christmas
that is filled with peace
they can grow up
in the light that came on
christmas eve
and christmas is for children
and the future
it is too
and if you put more hate
into the world
the world will
give it back to you
it will give you back
the hunger
it will give you back
the greed
and it will give you back
and evil war
that will have you falling to your knees
screaming children children
come running to me please
and bring the light of angels
that fell on christmas eve
yes bring it to all stupid men
all foolish men like i
who can’t see the light of christmas
the light that’s
in your smile

what child is this

what child is this
what child is this
who laid to rest
on mary’s lap is sleeping
who angels greet
with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch are keeping
this this is
christ the king
whom shepherds guard
and angels sing
haste haste to bring him love
the babe
the son of mary
what child is this
who’s left alone
on city streets is sleeping
while strangers pass
without a glance
is this child not worth keeping
this this….

love someone for christmas
one hand holds the future
one hand holds the past
i fell into a long daydream
i thought would always last
i tried to find the spirit
i danced the colored streets
the light of christmas
blinds my eyes
and brings me to my knees
a choir is singing
hymns to better times
inside the house
the presents are hidden
and the holiday soon will be mine
i’ll ring the bells of romance
i’ll kiss the kindest soul
and if there’s wicked winter winds
i’ll shield you from the cold
underneath the decorations
i won’t be alone
i’ll love someone for christmas
stars are always falling
the news is always bad
but the holidays that i spend with you
are the best i ever had
you are so filled with spirit
you dance around the tree
the light of christmas
holds my heart
and keeps you next to me
a choir is singing…..

december winds

december winds
the holiday spirits
that fly through
the december winds
bring us back down to earth
on christmas
and show us a world
where we all can live
without fear
and we can slide
into christmas
through the joy
and the good
and pull those feelings
right through hearts
and lay them right down
in front of you
the ageless angels
introduce us
to the new year
reshape those moments of life
we’ve shared
and show us a world
that is filled with hope
and at peace
and we can slide into christmas….

silent night
05:53

silent night
if i place myself in the
hands of god
will tiny wings
fall from the stars
is every wing a human scar
how can i find that my life
is so hard
firebombs and gunshots
rip the silent night
can you hear all those babies cry
if there’s no food to eat
then feed them lies
beamed from a satellite
in bethlehem’s sky
there are no wise men left
only unholy stars
we could be together
but we just stay apart
how can i think
that my life is so hard
while on television they show
children as they starve

that christmas thing

that christmas thing
i ain’t ready for the madness
but i love to look at lights
just a shining in the darkness
on a peaceful winters night
do you want to come and join me
and we’ll decorate the tree
we’ll put order in the ornaments
and solve loves mystery
and i’ll just swing
into that christmas thing
it makes my heart sing
to hear those bells ring
into that christmas thing
i’ll just swing
here’s to all our friends and family
here’s to joy in the new year
i’ve been wrapping all your presents
waiting for you to get here
there’s such wildness in this mad rush
i’m looking for a dream for me
maybe you will find my wish list
and solve loves mystery
and if the choir makes your heart soar
then it’s up to me
to lift you more and more
and i’ll just swing…
