On a christmas day

Walking along the sidewalk
Watching the children play
I have seen
Smiling faces waiting for christmas day

Hiding behind a corner
A boy turned around to say:
"I have seen a thousand people crying on a christmas day"

While I tried to answer
The boy disappeared in the night
On my own I was left there wondering
If he was right

And I began to think about it
Was it ever meant to be that way
"Love is the answer" said a voice in the crowd and I saw that boy run away

"Why don't you stay? Where did you hide?
Will I see you again?
Why don't you stay?"

And as I stood there alone
Staring into the night
I have seen a thousand people searching for the light

If you are lost and lonely
If you're alone today
Find that boy
And let him show you (the way)

And he will care about you when the night is long
He will make you smile again and sing along
Let's join our hands and let us pray
For love on christmas day
