about

This is my first time every trying to write an original Christmas song. I was trying to compare a modern perspective on Christmas the Holiday vs. Christmas the Historical Event.

lyrics

Lights burning out on the family tree
Tepid Regard when good gifts are received
No decent part in the nativity play

Alleluia anyway

Dear little child, how I hardly know thee
Your parents were poor but kept good company
You slept in a barn and you cried when awake

Alleluia anyway

This child becomes man and then Calvary won
With a promise of peace when his Kingdom is come
Praise God forever, or at least for the day

Alleluia anyway
