On The Day Before Christmas - Papermoon

There was a time when we all did believe

In a god, in a stairway to heaven

There was a time, we were younger and free

When to laugh and to love meant to live

Now we are blind for the beauty around us We take, but forgot how to give

On the day before christmas

Look around and all I see is trouble, all I see is pain

Even on a holy day like christmas

The time is near the people realize the lies, rise, organize to spread sweet

love around the world, here we stand across the land, we join our hands on the

day before christmas

There was a sign out in the distance

A star that is what we’ve been told

There was a sign for love and assistance

But the world that we live in turned cold

Still we are fighting all over the planet

Only for silver and gold

On the day before christmas

Look around and all I see is trouble…

Will we understand?

We have to believe

We’ll be free again if we learn how to love and forgive

There’s a man on a sleigh and he is on his way,

And the children are singing

There’s a man on the moon and he’ll come to you soon,

And the bells will be ringing
