Children lost missing souls bare feet hearts unwhole. Sleeping children in boxes with care no one to hold nothing to share. To gather them to take them in my Christmas wish til the end. Silent dreams fill their mind no presents to open, no eggs to find. To hold them to love and smile all the kids for thousands of miles. I'd take their place in a heartbeat I'd give my Christmas wish their dreams to live. To watch their faces glow with pride knowing they have nothing to hide. Money I'd burn for houses I'd build to give them love to give them a shield. I'd bring them hope to make them brave my Christmas wish their lives I'd save.
