A Different Kind of Christmas

[Verse 1]

The lights around the Christmas tree don't burn as bright

And all around the world it isn't a silent night

Outside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling

But somehow there's a sadness in the song

In our hearts we know that something's wrong

[Chorus]

It's a different kind of Christmas

In a different kind of world

Even though it looks the same

Everything has changed

It's a different kind of Christmas

[Verse 2]

Children opening gifts with wonder and surprise

I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes

I used to feel so safe inside I had a place to run and hide

In my daddy's arms I felt secure

No one can protect us anymore

[Chorus]

It's a different kind of Christmas

In a different kind of world

Even though it looks the same

Everything has changed

It's a different kind of Christmas

[Bridge]

Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer

Oh that's what we need if we'd only believe

It would be!

[Chorus]

It's a different kind of Christmas

In a different kind of world

Even though it looks the same

Everything has changed
