Story behind the song
The song highlights the fact that, to some people, Christmas is being turned into a commercial rip-off, instead of being a time for religous reflection.
Lyrics
SONG AND LYRIC COPYRIGHT JANNET BODEWES/VIC HOLDROYD
VERSE 1.
BENEATH A NEVER-ENDING SKY ON A COLD DECEMBER NIGHT
A CHILD WAS BORN AND WISE MEN CAME TO PRAY
AND THE CHILD COULDN'T KNOW AS HE LAY IN SWADDLING CLOTHES
HE WOULD COME TO BE REMEMBERED IN THIS WAY
IN A WORLD OF CONFUSION AND CRUEL RETRIBUTION
WHERE MONEY IS WORSHIPPED AND LIFE IS CHEAP
CITY STREETS ARE FULL OF LIGHT AND DECORATED TREES
GIFTS AND TOYS FOR EVERYONE BUT LITTLE HERE FOR ME
CHORUS
CHRISTMAS FOR SALE EVERYWHERE AROUND
CAN YOU REALLY PUT A PRICE ON WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YOU MIGHT SAY WE LIKE TO HEAR THE SLEIGH-BELLS RINGING
BUT DON'T FORGET THE LOVING THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVING
CHRISTMAS FOR SALE EVERYWHERE AROUND CHRISTMAS FOR SALE
VERSE 2.
IF YOU STEP INTO HIS HOME YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE
HE WELCOMES EVERYBODY JUST THE SAME
AS YOUR HEART SAYS A PRAYER JUST KNOW THAT HE'LL BE THERE
AND HE'LL ANSWER TO THE CALLING OF HIS NAME
THE FEEL GOOD VIBE OF CHRISTMAS SHOULD BE MORE THAN GIFTS AND WINE
MONEY NEVER CAN REPLACE HIS LOVE AND PEACE-OF-MIND
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER
BABY JESUS BORN REACH OUT TO YOUR BROTHER
LET'S MAKE CHRISTMAS LAST THE WHOLE YEAR THROUGH
LET'S MAKE CHRISTMAS LAST THE WHOLE YEAR THROUGH
AD LIB TO FIN.
