In December they will write of away in a manger and silent night Trees and angels glowing bright in every home but is that right? So what is so special about that day? For religion long since lost its way Commerce now rules the roost built on theology it's idioms proof The date is now meaningless it was arbitrary in any case For you see the date it really is a fake, I won't say the word it has no place It's a time some feel so alone lost without a loving home All they feel that they can do is shed this mortal coil and go Others try to buy so much to try and earn a lover's lust That's the point is it not? To spend and spend till it's all gone Materialistic self pious praise to show them you raised your game So next year when it comes once more, your still paying for the one before The meaning now it's totally lost If only just a pair of socks Yet rapped with love it means much more than anything that came before Yet there is something left inside even a cold dead heart like mine It's the look upon a small child's face when opening gifts on that day Or a lover wrapped in silk and lace that makes your heart beat again So look not at December the twenty fifth to perpetuate the festive myth For if you open up your eyes, your heart may also beat with life Then any time, any day... Could be the Christmas you can make Who knows it could be every Day
