I’M GONNA MAKE A WISH THIS CHRISTMAS, I’M GONNA SAY A LITTLE PRAYER I’M GONNA STOP HERE FOR A MOMENT BEFORE THE MOMENT DISAPPEARS THE WORLD’S IN A HURRY THIS DECEMBER, CITY STREETS AND SHOPPING MALLS I WISH WE COULD SLOW DOWN AND REMEMBER THE MEANING OF IT ALL
IT’S THE NEWS THAT NO ONE HOPES FOR, EVERY PARENT’S GREATEST FEAR FINDING OUT THE CHILD YOU LOVE SO MUCH MIGHT NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE YEAR NOW THE THOUGHT OF SPENDING CHRISTMAS, WITHOUT HIM JUST FEELS WRONG THEY’VE BEEN PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE NOW THEY’RE PRAYING HE CAN JUST HOLD ON
IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD IT HARDLY EVER RAINS I’VE NEVER GONE HUNGRY, ALWAYS FELT SAFE I GOT SOME MONEY IN MY POCKET, SHOES ON MY FEET IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD, POPULATION: ME
TAKE A LOOK AT THE MOUNTAINS, STRETCHING A MILE HIGH TAKE A LOOK AT THE OCEAN, FAR AS YOUR EYE CAN SEE AND THINK OF ME
DON’T BE MAD IF I CRY IT JUST HURTS SO BAD, SOMETIMES CAUSE EVERYDAY IT’S SINKING IN AND I HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE ALL OVER AGAIN
