Spotlight On Christmas

People love the workin' man

Who does the best that he can

But don't forget all the horses and toys

Never could fix the poor little rich boys

People say they love the maid

Who sweats and toils just like a slave

But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls

Never could fix the poor little rich girls

You can measure it in blood

You can measure it in mud

Let us say for these twelve days

Put the measurin' away

'Cause it's Christmas

And the spotlight's shinin' on Christmas

And the spotlight's shinin' on us

People love and people hate

People go and people wait

But don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

Once we're a family, poor but rich in hope, yeah

Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

Running from the law King Herod had imposeth

And they were each one quite odd

The Mensch, the Virgin, and the God

But don't forget that what kept them afloat

Floatin' through the desert doesn't take a boat, no

Don't forget that what kept them above

His unconditional love

And you can measure it in blood

You can measure it in mud

Let us say for these twelve days

Put the measurin' away

'Cause it's Christmas

And the spotlight's shinin' on Christmas

And the spotlight's shinin' on us

And the spotlight's shinin' on Christmas

And the spotlight's shinin' on

People love the workin' man

Who does the best that he can

But don't forget all the horses and toys

Never could fix the poor little rich boys
