Just imagine if Christmas
Was all year long.
The spirit of giving,
The gift of song.
If we all helped each other
As a civic duty,
Not an indebting favor
That makes us feel moody.
If we could lean on each other,
Not Uncle Sam,
And not feel beholden -
Wouldn't it be grand?
If for every cause
We each gave a penny,
We would hardly feel it,
Yet it would amount to many.
Each Christmas the presents
We grudgingly buy
Are forgotten in days.
It's no wonder why.
It's a gift for the moment,
"The thing to do",
Not a token of friendship
And humanity too.
CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR
