O Little Town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Shattered and littered with death and disease
When did ignorance begin, and will it ever cease?
They heard the bells on Christmas day
In warning, not celebration or gay
They warned of bombs that kill, and enemies.
Of stupid wars that destroy love, and families.
Away from danger they try and hide
In mountains and in caves
Away from man and nation’s greed
But Death, for more still craves.
Hark! the angels once sang
Of hopes and dreams for man
Of peace on earth and mercy mild
Will foe and enemy ever be reconciled?
Love came down at Christmas
But for more is all I whine
Never satisfied, even in excess
Why should love be ever mine?
