I love my country
as it dies
In war and pain
before my eyes
I walk the streets
where disrespect has been
The sins of politics
the politics of sin
the heartlessness that darkens my soul
on Christmas
Red and silver
on the leaves
fallen white snow
rung softly through the trees
madonnas weep
for wars of hell
They blow out the candles
and haunt Noel
The missing love that rings through the world
on Christmas
black panther brothers
bound in jail
Chicago seven
and the justice scale
Homeless Indian
of Manhattan isle
all God's sons have gone to trial
and all God's love is out of style
on Christmas
Now the time has come to fight
laws in the book of love burn bright
people, you must win
for thee America
her dignity
for all the high court world to see
on Christmas
Christmas in my soul
Christmas in my soul
Christmas in my soul
Joy to the world
