The night stars shimmer high overhead
The crisp night air fills your lung
Outside the flakes fall lightly
All around you carols are sung

Inside the fire burns and the coals glow
The smell of marshmllows fills the air
The warmth is so refreshing,
If only you were there

You pass the windows and the Christmas lights
The families with smiling faces
And wish for just a moment
That you could just trade places

A stranger passes you on the street,
Begging you for a meal
It is then that you realize
Things are not as bad as they feel

Although you have only spare change
You give the man everything
This is truly the meaning of Christmas,
In return you ask for not a thing
