(Do You know) It's Christmas Time?

The world is at the end

Of just another year.

What did you send

To each who are dear?

Do you know it's Christmas Time?

Do you know it's commercialisation is a crime?

Do you fund the pot coz it makes you feel good when you've got a lot?

Aren't you ashamed

When the ones who should gain

Themselves are giving from their own meager domain?

Do you know it's Christmas time?

What does that mean?

It's not just lights and sparkling decor of any kind.

Nor the town square manger scene.

War and famine

Old and young

never finding your labours done.

God has come to you and them

That everyone may be enlightened before the world comes to an end.

It's the greatest gift having been

Given from the first day unto the last.

So you should ask,

What must we do to welcome God Himself

Through the flesh of a tiny child?

Let go of yourself

You are holding on so tight

Let go of your willfulness

Just Be there

Let the Light of this New Dawn

Be, still in the Divine Movement.

Then you will Know

It's Christmas Divine.
