Papermoon - On a Christmas day lyrics

Walking along the sidewalk Watching the children play I have seen Smiling faces waiting for christmas day Hiding behind a corner A boy turned around to say: "I have seen a thousand people crying on a christmas day" While I tried to answer The boy disappeared in the night On my own; I was left there wondering If he was right And I began to think about it Was it ever meant to be that way "Love is the answer" said a voice in the crowd and I saw that boy run away "Why don't you stay? Where did you hide? Will I see you again? Why don't you stay?" And as I stood there alone Staring into the night I have seen a thousand people searching for the light If you are lost and lonely If you're alone today Find that boy And let him show you (the way) And he will care about you when the night is long He will make you smile again and sing along Let's join our hands and let us pray For love on christmas day
