Here I Sit On Christmas Eve

Here I Sit on Christmas Eve,

Already missing those that will leave.

I try to recreate the past, but time is

flying by so fast.

The tree is up, the feast is planned,

presents are wrapped, all over the land.

So, here I sit, I wait for you

Wonder what you will do.

I sit, I wait till Christmas comes

Still staring at no Christmas cards.

I'm hungry and, Yes, I am so poor

Don't forget me,

Please open my door.

I'm old, I'm gray,

and all alone,

I am one of the residents

that live in a home.

I'm young and cold, living on the street,

Who's there for me?

Please, can we meet?

I'm sad and tired,

within a cell,

No love for me, only hell.

I am everyone and everything,

I am the peasant and the king.

I am you and I am me,

We all need love, can't you see?

If you see a lonely heart

If you see a homeless cart,

If you see that I'm in need,

It just may be you that's freed.
