This Christmas

Broken all these years
Neither needed nor loved
Buried in your eyes
Misfortunes and fears

You've trekked through a life
Where hatred grows so rife
Violence breeds its ground
You wonder if you'll ever find
The healing comfort of His cradle

So can I be your Santa?
Can I bring you hope?
May I be your hero?
Seek with you some freedom
This Christmas

Painful tears, sight of cold roads are fading
Enough! this darkness, better days' approaching
Angels' little hands are reaching to grace you
The kindness of Yuletide from the heavens

So may I be your Santa?
May I bring you hope?
May I be your hero?
In the name of freedom
This Christmas

I'll never be our Savior in a manger
Instead be that friend who'd stand by your side

So can I be your santa?
Can I bring you hope?
May I be that hero?
May I offer freedom
Can I be your sleigh-ride?
Can I be the love?
Could we play the heroes?
For some glorious freedom
This Christmas

So will you make it Santa?
Will you bring us hope
Could you be that hero
Could you be that freedom?
Don't forget your sleigh-ride
For some laughter and love
Please be our hero
To save and set us free

This Christmas
