MERRY CHRISTMAS by Third Day!!

THERE'S A LITTLE GIRL TREMBLING ON A COLD DECEMBER MORN

CRYING FOR MAMA'S ARMS

AT A FOSTER HOME JUST OUTSIDE A LITTLE GUATEMALAN TOWN

WHERE THE FORGOTTEN ARE

BUT HALF A WORLD AWAY I HANG THE STOCKINGS BY THE FIRE

AND DREAM ABOUT THE DAY WHEN I CAN FINALLY CALL YOU MINE

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN BUT YOU'RE NOT HOME

YOUR FAMILY IS HERE AND YET YOUR'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE ALONE

SO TONIGHT I PRAY THAT GOD WILL COME AND HOLD YOU IN HIS ARMS

AND TELL YOU FROM MY HEART

I WISH YOU MERRY CHRISTMAS

AS I HANG THE TINSEL ON THE TREE AND WATCH THE TWINKLING LIGHTS

I'M WARMED BY THE FIRE'S GLOW

OUTSIDE THE CHILDREN TUMBLE IN A WONDERLAND OF WHITE

AND MAKE ANGELS IN THE SNOW

BUT HALF A WORLD AWAY YOU TRY YOUR BEST TO FIGHT THE TEARS

AND HOPE THAT HEAVEN'S ANGEL COME TO CARRY YOU HERE

CHRISTMAS IS A TIME TO CELEBRATE THE HOLY CHILD

AND WE CELEBRATE HIS PERFECT GIFT OF LOVE

HE CAME TO EARTH TO GIVE HIS LIFE AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR US

SO WE COULD HAVE A HOME WITH HIM ABOVE

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN AND NOW YOU'RE HOME

YOUR FAMILY IS HERE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE

SO TONIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP, I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS

AND TELL YOU FROM MY HEART

I WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I HEARD THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. MY BESTFRIEND AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. WE BOTH JUST TEARED UP. MY PRAYER IS THAT WE ARE ALL SINGING THE LAST VERSE NEXT YEAR. I HOPE AND PRAY NONE OF US ARE STILL SINGING THE REST.
