Lyrics
‘On Christmas Day’
(Words and music copyright Benny The Busker © 2008)
All around the world, paper chains are hung
Small boys and girls are having fun
For a future safe to laugh and play
Brings a child the gift of faith — On Christmas Day
La-la la la la---, La-la la la, La-la La-la la la (x2)
A coloured light, a treasured toy
A holy night, a face of joy
For endless scope, from humble hay
Brings a child the gift of hope — On Christmas Day
La-la la la la---, La-la la la, La-la La-la la la (x2)
Come gather round the fire, we’ll sing a favourite song
A candle choir shows we belong
Come gather near and far, as for peace we pray . . .
A single star shows the way
With decorations, green, white and gold
In all nations, for young and old
Here, as above, to please as may
Brings a child faith, hope and love — On Christmas Day
And the greatest of these, every way
Brings a child the gift of love — On Christmas Day
La-la la la la---, La-la la la, La-la La-la la la (x2)
On Christmas Day…
