He's like the lightning in the sky each time I feel it near. The beauty of its pretty color sinks beneath my fear.
If in consideration
I find someone here,
I shall but find myself
Full of cheer.
For solitaire is a state
I have to inquire of.
For one moment I am seeking an escape from
What I never receive enough of.
If the misunderstanding
Finds your comprehension,
Please listen ever closely.
You must pay close attention.
Inside a little shelter wall
I built for self protection,
I’m surely regretting my motion,
For I’ve found self destruction.

Christmas seems to be a time a lot of people understand,
But somewhere get lost.
They are very appreciative of their friends and family,
But just can’t meet the cost.
They think they have to buy a present of great value,
And try to find the cash.
Crime is at a higher rate. Where is it all coming from?
You shouldn’t have to ask.
So please understand that people are aware and in love with Christmas.
They are just misunderstanding the value.
Don’t be too hard on someone going to great lengths for someone they care.
That someone may be you.
