Christmas Cheer

In twenty minutes, Christmas will be here.
In twenty minutes, comes 24 hours of cheer.
Get ready your smile, get ready your mood
For the meaning of tomorrow is well understood
Forget about your worries, put them all aside
Leave away your doubts, let your fears go to hide
Forget about the turmoil, forget about the strife
Forget about your starving neighbor, forget the lost of life
Forget about the oppression, forget about regret
For the reason for the season, is the chance to forget.

Put on your happy face, just for today.
Tomorrow you can return to reality's grey.
Put on your Christmas cheer and pretend everything's okay.
Put on your hymns and songs just for this auspicious day.

Just for today, we celebrate the Lord's birth
Just for today, we remember He came to Earth
Just for today, we shall sing of His saving grace
But when tomorrow comes, we shall return to our place.

Remember the Son and all that He did

Remember His birth and his great deed

Remember He came to save all mankind

But tomorrow return to the world of the blind.

If Christ was born to save us from death

Should we not do more than set up a wreath?

If Christ was born to set us free
Should we not do more than set up a tree?

If Christ was born to prepare us a way

Should we not do more than give Him one day?

So...
In twenty minutes, Christmas will be here.
In twenty minutes, comes 24 hours of cheer.
Get ready your smile, get ready your mood
But is the meaning of Christmas well understood?
