It is the
Soul season
That believes
In each Christmas
With trees
That glisten
In beauty and hope
From the North Star song….
Each year my Christmas wish
Is for world peace.
Yet too many hands are
Born into evil,
And take lives for their god,
Robbing children of a chance
For a sky of goodwill
To fly.
When will the world
Harmonize,
Feed each other’s hunger
So we all can be truly free
To live, love, and grow grace
On any land…
How beautiful
To believe in miracles,
With hearts everywhere
Around you,
Who
understand.
