Every boy, every girl, every Nation
Come together in one accord
It's a Soulful Noel
Verse 1:
The Season is upon us
It's my favorite time of year

I smell that tasty goodness

I LOVE CHRISTMAS
IT’S MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR
PEOPLE LAUGHING SPREADING LOTS OF JOY AND GOOD CHEER
THE CHILDREN ARE PLAYING THE CAROLERS SINGING
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRITS FEELS THE AIR
THE LIGHTS ARE ALL GLISTENING THE WIND IS A WHISTLING
A SURE SIGN THAT CHRISTMAS IS HERE
I LOVE CHRISTMAS IT’S MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR
TIME FOR FAMILY
THEY TRAVEL FROM FAR AND NEAR
PRESENTS EXCHANGING THE MUSIC IS PLAYING
STEALING KISSES UNDER MISTLETOE
THE CRACKLING FIRE THE TASTE OF HOT CIDER
REMINDS ME OF DAYS LONG AGO…
I LOVE CHRISTMAS IT’S MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR
PEOPLE LAUGHING SPREADING LOTS OF JOY AND GOOD CHEER
I LOVE CHRISTMAS
ITS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR

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
