Lyrics Christmas Day - Vold Book

It started small at first
In a show of generosity
Here and there
On Christmas Day, the
Headlines telling of the gifts
Donations that were made
To charities far and wide
But every year that passed the
Amounts would see an increase
And the people began to feel
A palpable sense of relief
For what was being done
They could not do on their own
The wealthy had decided
To be the ones who provided
The poor with sustenance
And mercy was shown
In an act of providence

Was this just a dream
Was it all just a dream

Our luck had changed, it seemed
The wealthy were capable of
Kindness, and generosity
Our hatred, and dismal lot in life
Were being elevated, by those who
Chose to provide; what was missing
From the ones without a means
The food was now available
And a place to live was
More than just a dream

In time, we all might come to know
Satisfaction; and our dreary existence
Might be replaced with some-
Thing gaining traction
Something, that we had not seen
In so very long; an effortlessness
To live, and learn to sing the songs
That rang from highest mountains
Across the land
Our people were astounded by
The choices that were made, by
The ones who used to take every-
Thing: with them, to the grave

Christmas Day is where it all begins
For those who have nothing and
Those who have it all
Let's meet in the middle
To restore faith in humanity
And illuminate the cause
To rid this world of misery
And cheer to great applause
The avenues we take
Don't have to be broken
By the separation, and division
That we've all come to know
But this depends on those have
Not those who are below
