Another weary year has fled us

The world gets no less troubled

And we tread into Christmas a little more jaded

By the evil and corruption we see everyday.

Searing critiques and wearing insults

Have dogged us, sometimes tragically,

Yet here we are, those who are left..

So lift up your eyes to the sky

And imagine there's a Heaven

So raise your voice on high

And sing of a better world to come.

Forgive, and be forgiven,

Relent, and be not vengeful,

Turn the other cheek

And walk on, proud and humble at once,

For Christmas is the time of renewal,

Just as it has always been.
