People love the working man
|
Who does the best that he can
|
But don't forget all the horses and toys
|
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
|
People say they love the maid
|
Who sweats and toils just like a slave
|
But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
|
Never could fix the poor little rich girls
|
|
You can measure it in blood
|
You can measure it in myrrh
|
Let us say for these twelve days
|
Put the measuring away
|
|
Cause it's Christmas
|
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
|
And the spotlight's shining on us
|
|
People love and people hate
|
People go and people wait
|
But, don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
|
Once were a family poor but rich in hope, yeah
|
Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
|
Running from the law, King Herod had imposeth
|
And they were each one quite odd
|
And mensch, a virgin, and a God
|
But don't forget that what kept them aflow
|
Floating through the desert doesnt take a boat no
|
Don't forget that what kept them above
|
Is unconditional love
|
|
And, you can measure it in blood
|
You can measure it in myrrh
|
Let us say for these twelve days
|
Put the measuring away
|
|
Cause it's Christmas
|
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
|
And the spotlight's shining on us
|
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
|
And the spotlight's shining on
|
|
People love the working man
|
Who does the best that he can
|
But, don't forget all the horses and toys
|
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
|
