merry christmas to the world to each and every race
time for peace on earth in each and place
let the world unite live in perfect harmony
celebrate together way that it should be

light the christmas tree hang the mistletoe
put the music on let the music flow
party time is here time for christmas fun
let us all unite lets celebrate as one

let the world unite for all the human race
christmas is for everyone each and place
let the music play time for christmas fun
time for peace on earth now christmas has begun

should we have the right to die.  let our suffering cease
allow assisted dying so we can die in peace
the agony and pain we suffer.  everyday single day
with assisted dying we could take it all away

they should pass the bill  when lifes gets hard to bare
and your choice to die will be always there
then we can end our life do it legally
from our pain and suffering at last we will be free

there was  little cow he was black and white
and he used to sleep walk whenever it was night
he wandered all around walking in his sleep
all around the meadow then in among the sheep
he wandered through the dale and all along the glen
then he would turn around and walk back home again
back in to his bed the little cow would creep
the he would settle down and fall back fast asleep

just a child in a manger who made history
if wasnt for the child christmas would never be
three wise men they took presents.  to where the baby lay
presents for the child on a christmas  day.

when the child had grown a saviour he would be
he would free the world for all humanity
bring them all together to a world they all could face
all across the universe each and every race

thats were christmas came from many years ago
thanks to a saviour  that everyone would know
sleeping in a manger on a bed of hay
the holy child from Bethlehem that gave us christmas day

weathers getting colder snow is on the way
think about the homeless with no place to stay
living in the open snow falling all around
sleeping in a doorway sleeping on the ground

no where to call home friends or family
no presents christmas day or a christmas tree
living in there lonelieness with no home is sight
sleeping in a doorway on a christmas night

theres someone i know thats all my world to me
and for all my life he will always be
matthew is name now a fine young man
i will give him all the love that a mother can

from a baby to adult i sat and watch him grow
and i love him more than he will ever now
makes me feel so proud that he belongs to to me
best son in the world there could ever be

matthew i love you and i always will
till the end time till the world stands still
you make me feel so proud and you belong to me
you are everything that a son should be

a poem for  Carla a family member

heading home to memphis find my roots once more
home sweet home again where i was before
had enough of drifting sofa surfing ways
bars and lots of drinking waking in a haze

head on home again to friends and family
say goodbye to trouble that always followed me
change it all around how it used to be
in my home sweet home in memphis tennesee

settle down for good no longer have to roam
get married raise a family build my self a home
in the place i love that means so much to me
home sweet home once more where i long to be
