LYRIC FOR SALE

By Alarion Melora

[Verse]
Winter morning early hours
Kids wait on the landing
Watching minutes on the clock
Hushed voices understanding

[Verse]
Race down stairs, the fireplace
Where they'll find socks and gifts
Expectation and surprise
Checking off their Christmas list

[Verse]
Smiling parents looking on
Hearts warm watching play
A fragment out of time
Together on this special day

[Chorus]
Children playing happily
Their make believe enough
Parents find their inner child
and all their Christmas love
We're living through a time
and a world we're unsure of
What everyone needs now
is each other's Christmas love

[Verse]
Working days are long enough
No shared time for lovers
Living almost separate lives
Too much time spent with others

[Verse]
Winter holidays a time
To slow down and unwind
Stop thinking all about the work
Bring loved ones to our minds

[Verse]
Newlyweds or family
Gifts chosen with care, bring
a confirmation of their love
Hear hearts and voices sing

[Chorus]
Couples watching favourite films
Some time alone enough
They cherish moments together
and all their Christmas love
We're living through a time
and a world we're unsure of
What everyone needs now
is each other's Christmas love

[Verse]
Barriers and border controls
Keep us from each other
Distrust of our fellow man
Be they sister or a brother

[Verse]
Christmas Day is not a time
to see them as an enemy
A friend you don't know yet
embraced with holy serenity

[Verse]
Now we need peace on earth
End all conquest and war
for every precious child's birth
to save both mine and yours

[Chorus]
Division breeds too much fear
Don’t have to show we're tough
Embrace each other, offer help
and all your Christmas love
We're living through a time
and a world we're unsure of
What everyone needs now
is each other's Christmas love

[Chorus]
Parents find their inner child
and all their Christmas love
Couples share time together
and all their Christmas love
Embrace one another offer help
and all your Christmas love
What everyone needs now
is each other's Christmas love
