i've been told since i was young
that everytime that christmas comes
santa comes with gifts and toys

for every little girl and boy

i've been told since i was small

that christmas comes with peace for all
everyone loves and no one hates
it's been said that life is great


maybe someday i would see
the christmas they keep showing me

the picture of how things should be
the one they keep on asking me to see


maybe someday (maybe someday)
[2x]


i wonder if they'll ever see
the children begging on the streets
the old man sleeping on the bed

of concrete underneath the shed

i wonder if they'll ever see

the family with no food to eat
the father with no gift to leave
underneath the tree on christmas eve


maybe someday (maybe someday)
[4x]


maybe someday i would see
the christmas they keep showing me

the picture of how things should be
