A holiday's upon me
a day to celebrate
but for so many people
it's nothing but heartache

All of the pain that we don't see
blinded by all our "I"'s and "me"'s

You can't turn away
you can't shun the pain
notice who's crying and who's in need today

We are never hungry
we have a nice warm bed
and never mind the children
who starve and freeze to death

Shelter from the rain is scarse
something about them makes us scared

You can't turn away
you can't shun the pain
you can barricade in your charade
