I was working at the Postal Service Part time, answering letters When one for Santa caught my eyes I could make this kids life better I read the letter, held it close I couldn't promise gifts and stuff But, I read the **** thing fifteen times And at that point, I'd had enough
Dear Santa Claus, the letter read My name is Katy Green I hope this Christmas is the best That you have ever seen I want to let you know I'm scared You won't find us Christmas Eve We are living in a trailer now But, Santa...I still believe
We lost our house and all our stuff When we got wiped out by a storm We had to move to trailer town And it's not easy keeping warm There's Mum and Dad, and my sisters All in this trailer built for two So don't go where we were last year No matter what you do
I put the letter in my shirt Without a second thought I'd be fired in a heart beat If I ever did get caught I went home after work that day Pulled the letter, showed my spouse My Christmas gift to them this year I was gonna find that house
I started calling neighbors Got my friends involved as well And told them to get others As many folks as they could tell We were in the countries center They were stuck out on the coast We were going to bring Christmas Just like the Holy Ghost
We put the letter in the paper Gifts came in from shops and stores I would come home after working There'd be gifts outside my door We started out with eight trucks We figured that would do the trick Eight trucks led by a madman By, the way...my name is Nick
We had five days until Christmas To get this load to where they were We had toys and clothes and gift cards We had no frankincense or myrrh We had trucks just full of tires In case we broke down on the way There was nothing that would stop us We'd be there on Christmas Day
Each city that we passed through Our convoy grew in size The police just let us roll on They could not believe the size Our line of trucks was bigger than Any that I'd seen on the road And each truck was fully packed up Each one had a full load
The plan was nearly perfect Two days and we would be there We would fix up their old house Where others wouldn't dare We would not only bring them Christmas We would give them back their house And we would do it all in silence Like that poem and that sleeping mouse
Our convoy found the township And we did the best we could We ripped the house asunder And then rebuilt it with new wood One letter set this movement Of Christmas love and cheer In mothion for one family That as yet, weren't even here
We put lights up and got ready Found a tree and made it right When the gifts were all delivered The house was quite a sight We went out to the trailers Just the drivers and no press This was our Christmas present Started by a child...who'd have guessed
I knocked upon the trailer All the trucks lined up the way We still had twenty four hours Until it would be Christmas Day Katy stood before me With her mother in the back I stood waiting on the doorstep Dressed in red with a large sack
As soon as Katy saw me She new that Santa Claus was here That he'd seen her letter And was here with Christmas Cheer When her mum saw all the trailers Lined on both sides of the road She said to me "Dear Santa" Where are all the trailers stowed
I told them of the letter And we got them all outside It didn't take too much convincing That we would be going for a ride When we turned up on their crescent And we started for their place Each one of them was crying Tears were streaming down their face
The house was lit up brightly The trees were lit up too The house was their big present Everything inside was new The parents stood and wondered While the kids just went on in They asked us why we did it It just took a letter to begin
We made Christmas for this family We brought a Convoy across the land Every one who heard about us Pitched in to lend a hand We may not quite be Santa But, we helped him with his load And next year again at Christmas There'll be a Convoy on the road
