Note: This was the first song I ever wrote. I was 20 when I wrote this on Christmas of '95. A friend of mine composed the melody and it has only been sung 3 or 4 times in public.
Verse 1: Standing by the road a boy with no home
No one to turn to, nowhere to roam
Everyone who passed by turn a blind eye
He doesn't know what Christmas is
'Cos there;s no one there to show him
Verse 2: Sitting by the corner of a dark, deserted street
She sits all alone, with nothing to eat
She is growing old and weary everyday
She has no one to call her own
Has no future to look forward to
Chorus: Where has the meaning of Christmas gone to?
What has this special season turned into?
How can we celebrate it meaningfully?
When someone out there is living miserably
Why can't we share our love and care?
With all the people who needs us there
Verse 3: If you dare to share the love and kindness from your heart
Stretch out your hand to those who need your care
Never fear 'cos Jesus is always there
Long as we really, really care
The people in need will never be in despair
Bridge: Show the world what Christmas is
Bring Jesus into their midst
Teach them courage, give them hope
Though nobody cares, they'll know
That Jesus cares, that Jesus cares
End: Why can't we share our love and care
With all the people who need us there (2x)
