Do We Still Need Christmas?

Christmas cake and candle light

Family under the tree

Will this really be a sight

We no longer see?

It is clear, the times have changed

Trees are made of plastic

Everywhere people get estranged

The mood is not fantastic

Gifts bought in a hurry

Cookies from the store

Obligations make us worry

Christmas carols only bore

Where has the spirit of Christmas gone?

Tell me where did it go?

Do we care? What do we want?

Do we still need Christmas?

I don't know

Grandparents are long dead

Their lore and kindness missing

Memories replaced by regret

Wish they were here hugging and kissing

The world became unstable

We all have growing fears

I need friends at my table

Not worries, fright and tears

Why can't we agree

On celebrating life

Together is the key

To overcome the strife

Where has the spirit of Christmas gone?

Tell me where did it go?

Is this how we want to go on?

Do we still need Christmas?

Do we still need Christmas?

Yes, I think so
