can’t be happy at christmas

1

there’s some people i’m told
so sullen and cold
that they can’t be
.....happy at christmas
when the big day arrives
in most of their lives
they wonder what happened
.....to their wish list
and they cry because their lives
.....are so listless

2

there’s a signpost on the road
that exacerbates their load
and they wonder why they feel
.....such sadness
so they turn left and right
from the day into the night
because they know life comes down
.....to good and badness
and they sigh feeling trapped
.....by all the madness

3

how would you feel if you knew
why the sky was so blue
and the clouds were just
.....water and air
would it make you realize
how the bird flys
or why they are always
.....in a pair
would you be amazed or still
.....not really care

4

and everything shall pass
like the drink from the glass
our time on this planet
.....is so fleeting
but if you don’t understand
the majesty of this plan
perhaps you must arrange
.....such a meeting
to find out why your heart
.....is really beating

5

the cornerstone is set
to carry all the debt
that is known as the
.....building’s foundation
and our lives are the same
because of where we came
is what is known as
.....the eternal creation
and it’s recorded in time
.....as the manifestation

6

yes they can wind their lives uptight
and hope with all their might
that they can get across
.....the narrow isthmus
they can scream – they can shout
they can cry – they can pout
but until they make it
.....their business
they will continue to swing
.....and miss much

and still they won’t be
.....happy at christmas
