Stanza I: I've been told since I was young That every time that Christmas comes Santa comes with gifts and toys For every little girl and boy I've been told since I was small That Christmas comes with peace for all Everyone loves and no one hates Its been said that life is great
Maybe someday I would see The Christmas they keep showing me The picture of how things should be The one they keep on asking me to see
Maybe someday (maybe someday)
Stanza II: I wonder if they'll ever see The children begging on the streets The old man sleeping on a bed Of concrete underneath the shed I wonder if they'll ever see The family with no food to eat The father with no gifts to leave Underneath the tree on Christmas eve
