Christmas Every Day


Christmas Every Day

I see a woman putting coins in a pot
While a Santa rings his bell
She smiles at him, he gives her thanks
As he wishes her well

There's an old man in dirty worn out clothes
Begging on the street
People stop by and reach in their pockets
He now has money to eat

It's a time we feel so generous
It's a time we give from our hearts
It's a time we feel compassionate
It doesn't seem that hard
But why can't we do this all of the time
Why can't these feelings last
Why does it have to be once a year
Why does Christmas have to pass
We need Christmas every day

There's a family reaching out to the poor
Buying presents for some kids
With smiles on their faces the children say
We've gotten our wish list

There's a worker at a department store
Having a rotten day
A customer comes up and smiles and says
“Please have a happy day”

It's a time we feel so generous
It's a time we give from our hearts
It's a time we feel compassionate
It doesn't seem that hard
But why can't we do this all of the time
Why can't these actions last
Why does it have to be once a year
Why does Christmas have to pass
We need Christmas every day

There's a baby sleeping in a barn
No room in the inn
Three wise men come to stare at Him
He manages a grin

This baby born on Christmas Day
Is the reason why we give
He later sacrificed His life
He showed us how to live
Our sins He did forgive

It's a time we feel so generous
It's a time we give from our hearts
It's a time we feel compassionate
It doesn't seem that hard
But why can't we do this all of the time
Why can't these feelings last
Why does it have to be once a year
Why does Christmas have to pass
We need Christmas every day

There are people in need everyday
Not just on Christmas Day
We need to give in every way
We need to do it everyday
