I wrote this song some years ago. Message still resonates.
lyrics
Christmas must be somewhere
somewhere nearby
I hear the sound of sleighbells
and in the sky a star is trying to be noticed
but no one sees
what is the reason Christmas stays away
And still it must be somewhere
just out of sight
although the ground is bare
and in the night a child wakes
frightened by a howling wind through the trees
and no one agrees on why the world's turned gray
But once there was a Christmas
eager to arrive
with peace on earth, good will to men
why can't it be that way again
keep the hope alive!
Christmas must be somewhere
but who can say
I know it's bound to find us
but every day and night I pray
and still no answer
oh Christmas please
bring back your season of love and hope
and peace and joy
kindness and charity
you know it shouldn't be a rarity
come back Christmas
come back Christmas
