Well the banks &the schools &the post office are closed[00:00:00]

You can park where you please and you won't get towed[00:00:02]

The streets are empty &the stores are finally closed[00:00:06]

It's Christmas morning[00:00:09]

He got a tie &she got a book[00:00:11]

They weren't supposed to peek but they took a little look[00:00:14]

Tell me how long will it take for the dinner to cook[00:00:16]

It's Christmas morning[00:00:20]

There are so many presents underneath the tree[00:00:22]

A few are for you but the rest are all for me[00:00:24]

And we gotta tip the super and the doormen[00:00:27]

Can't you see It's Christmas morning[00:00:29]

Christmas morning finally has come[00:00:35]

It has meaning for each &everyone[00:00:38]

Christmas morning I cannot believe[00:00:40]

Just last night was Christmas Eve[00:00:43]

In the Rockerfeller Center the big tree is shining bright[00:00:47]

Skaters skate beneath it in the winter light[00:00:50]

Like a picture on a Christmas card everything looks right[00:00:53]

On Christmas morning[00:00:56]

And the homeless who have nothing will ask on[00:00:58]

Christmas day for us to give them something[00:01:00]

God we wish they'd go away[00:01:03]

Though there is no place for them to go[00:01:04]

They have no place to stay on Christmas morning[00:01:06]

Lying in a hospital dying in a bed with aids[00:01:10]

He deserved it I have heard it said[00:01:13]

Deck the halls iwth boughs of something[00:01:16]

Soon he will be dead on Christmas morning[00:01:17]

Christmas morning finally has come[00:01:23]

It has meaning for each &everyone[00:01:25]

Christmas morning I'm afraid to say[00:01:28]

Life goes on on Christmas morning[00:01:31]

And the Prince of peace was born on a Christmas Day[00:01:35]

In the little town of Bethlehem not so far away[00:01:38]

From where a multitude has gathered in a warlike way[00:01:41]

On Christmas morning[00:01:44]

So we watch the buildup here we go again[00:01:47]

There is sand there are camels[00:01:49]

But where are the wise men[00:01:51]

Are they in Baghdad Are they in Washington[00:01:52]

It's Christmas morning[00:01:55]

There are those who go to church they kneel down to pray[00:01:58]

For loved ones who have left to serve so far away[00:02:01]

&for a Middle Eastern baby born on that very day[00:02:04]

It's Christmas morning[00:02:07]

Christmas morning finally has come[00:02:11]

It has meaning for each &everyone[00:02:13]

Christmas morning I'm afraid to think[00:02:16]

This time we are headed to the brink[00:02:19]

A week from today we begin a brand new year[00:02:39]

Let us all be hopeful men &women of good cheer[00:02:41]

And resolve to fight against stupidity and fear[00:02:45]

It's Christmas morning[00:02:48]

And as awful as the world can be we are still alive[00:02:50]

And if we're very careful we might well survive[00:02:53]

There are cures &solutions &there is compromise[00:02:56]

Christmas morning[00:02:59]

Christmas is for children I have heard it said[00:03:02]

That's why King Herod hated the babe in the manger bed[00:03:05]

They all came to worship &adore the child instead[00:03:08]
