LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence
Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!
Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company
LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion
Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack
Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble
Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013
This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.
LYRICS
What will man do in the name of the Lord?
What hell will man wreak in the name of God?
No matter how absurd
No matter how odd
No matter how forsaken
Granted, life is taken
Gather round humankind
For some kind
Of Ass embly
Can you tell the mule from the fool
Is the donkey me?
There’s a soldier in the grass
With a bullet in his ass
Take it out, take it out, like a good boy scout
