Verse I: (Hey You) Lead: Hey You I'm talking to you I got a whole lot on my mind Don't always have a clue But, best believe, I got a rhythm The Holidays, they puzzle me 'Suppose to be good will and cheer But the homeless roam the streets While we're grinning from ear to ear Shopping for gifts and toys While the poor they long for more We gotta show some charity Now ain't that what the seasons for Chorus I: Distracted by commercialism of the Holidays (Hey you) The sales, the bargains, weekend clearance, they consume our days (Hey you) The pressure to gift everybody Just becomes a chore (Hey you) Your credit debt & lavish gifts Won't make them love you more Verse II: (Hey you) Every Christmas, Hanukkah even on Kwanzaa, it's the same We come together for a time We celebrate but where's the change While we're sipping on eggnog Somewhere a child just missed a meal Gang violence on the streets Children with guns, let's keep it real Call it legalized slavery The private prisons and jails Putting up your Christmas tree While a community lives in Hell Chorus II: Peace on Earth Good will toward men That's what we sing about (Hey you) But we forget the underprivileged As they live without (Hey you) We close our eyes to the condition Of disease & war (Hey you) The greed, the hate, division, fear What are we fighting for (Hey you) It's time to put our faith in action on this Holiday (Hey you) Cause what defines us Are our actions not just what we say (Hey you) The rich are getting richer And the poor are losing game (Hey you) Let's take responsibility Instead of placing blame Verse III: (Hey You) Lead: Hey You I'm talking to you I got a whole lot on my mind Don't always have a clue But, best believe, I got a rhythm The Holidays, they puzzle me 'Suppose to be good will and cheer But the homeless roam the streets While we're grinning from ear to ear Shopping for gifts and toys While the poor they long for more We gotta show some charity Now ain't that what the seasons for Hey you Hey you Hey you Hey you
