On Christmas day the best gift I got
Through the door my brother walked
See he had to go fight in the war
He came home we thought to stay
Santa Claus gave me my wish that day

Singing Christmas carols was so fun
Favorite songs we sang as one
My mom and dad were really happy too
Joy and laughter filled the air
With my brother home the world was fair

Later that year another war came
And they call my brother’s name
He left again to do his duty
A soldier he was truly
He gave His all so I could be safe
No one will  take his place
For love of country he had to go

This day the whole world will know
The high price my brother payed
For our freedom life my brother gave
So this Christmas I take time to thank
All those soldiers in the war
And the soldiers that came to home shores
Just know your sacrifice and your pain
Is not something done in vain
