Secular Song in Celebration of the 25th of December - Dan Bull[00:00:00]
Written by:Dan Bull[00:00:02]
December the 25th is here[00:00:11]
0003% of a year[00:00:17]
December the 25th is here[00:00:22]
So we should shine a light on those who might just disappear[00:00:27]
There's so much hype for the 25th of December[00:00:34]
Piles of cards to write lists of gifts to remember[00:00:37]
That we're quick to forget a midst the tinsel and splendour[00:00:40]
That in the end we're in it together[00:00:42]
So I've picked up a pen and written a letter[00:00:44]
But it isn't to Santa[00:00:47]
Though it is a wish list of things I think we should remember[00:00:48]
Of thinkers inventors figures and mentors[00:00:51]

Not many of us have a larger heart than[00:02:27]
The founder of the American red cross Clara Barton[00:02:29]
So I beg your pardon for any omission[00:02:33]
Whether you're a secularist or whether you're christian[00:02:35]
Whatever religion whatever your differences[00:02:38]
We're distant relatives so let us mend the division[00:02:41]
Within gender we're more than just men and just women[00:02:44]
We may be different races but we're genetically kin and[00:02:47]
We may be different ages but we still live[00:02:50]
In the same seconds and minutes[00:02:52]
No one's setting the limits[00:02:53]
So let's end the tradition of splitting hairs[00:02:55]
Cause the fission of follicles just isn't logical[00:02:57]
