A Christmas Song

He came in the way that good things come With the lights shining in his eyes And most people thought he was another little babe That wrinkled up his face and cried And then one wise man, two wise men, three wise men Come afrom afar, and the many colored men knew This was a special child And that's why they followed that star He came east and west then he found himself In forty day and forty night He gave a lot of love to everyone he met And he told them that the way was right And then the people drew near, said they want To hear what's all this talking about And everybody loved that man so much that They wanted to laugh and shout But a bunch of people said he had the wrong idea So they told him to forget that thought So a secretive society came about And they were looking for the love they sought And then the people in power said We gave you an order: go back and be a carpenter But the shining in his face Told him was right And so they put him on a cross right there Now he's been gone for a mighty long time We've forgotten what the man had said Look at your life in the right direction And be sure to look inside your head And when you get around your Christmas tree Be sure to give all you can Because the more you're gonna give The more you're gonna get, be you woman or a gentleman Now Christmas and Easter ain't the only time That we should be that way Love all the people and help your neighbor now each and every day And when you do that, you'll see where it's at You'll feel what I'm talking around And then the whole wide world is gonna live in peace And everybody's gonna be found
