Turkey & Stuffing - Chris Murray

«peace on earth» is blinking

to draw them through the door

in this land of plenty

always wanting more

staring through the window

at things I can’t afford

what they are selling

I’m not buying

the promise of something more

hear the voices singing

«love your fellow man»

as the bells are ringing

«get it while you can»

searching for an echo

of where this all began

from season’s greetings

something is missing

the promise of something more

oh so warm and cozy

‘neath the tinsel ice

the giving and the getting

oh it feels so nice

there’s nothing I’m forgetting

I’m checking my list twice

turkey and stuffing

and children laughing

sizing up the score

neatly wrapped

‘neath the tree

the promise of something more
