I wanna write a Christmas song
but I don't know what to say.
I can't even get in the spirit,
cuz' it's been such a lousy day.
If those kids make any more bobbles
the tree won't even look green.
I tried listening to some carols,
but I don't know what half the words mean.
Christmas is so full of noise!
Why are we singing about a silent night?
There isn't even snow on the ground-
why can't we do Christmas right?
I just wanna curl up in a blanket-
maybe some good ol' flannel.
I'll find that little snowman mug,
and just watch the Hallmark channel.
But I have to do this,
and I have to do that.
Have to find presents, see family-
try to eat and not get fat.
Christmas is so fast!
And it's gone before you know it.
It's hard to remember what it's for -
I'm just tryin' not to blow it.
Half of Christmas seems so stupidly merry,
and the other half so sad.
I know this has been more of a Christmas rant,
but it just makes me so mad!
I think for 5 minutes earlier I had it:
there was a trembling in my knees,
but a voice rang out overhead -
the light had broken through the Christmas trees!
"I am the lion and the lamb," He said.
"and even the little child that leads them.
Don't you know why I had a watering trough for a bed?
For I am the living water that washes away all sin."
He is the beginning and the end,
that beautiful savior of the damned!
He said: "Darling, I assure you,
before Abraham was I AM."
Then I felt that I could skip and sing
to a thousand Christmas songs!
But then the waves crashed, the clouds moved back,
and all the light was gone.
And the rest of my day just hasn't been up to par.
I don't think I'll find that feeling putting up a wreath.
(But it's hard not to smile at my brother,
who's missing his 2 front teeth.)
But you know I'll keep on searching.
Maybe someone will open a door?
I just don't want to sit in a pile of presents and paper,
still looking around for more.
Now I know it wasn't much,
and it was kinda long.
It may not have meant anything to you,
but thank you,
for listening to my "Christmas Song".
