Its Christmas time and there’s no need to be afraid
An amazing line of a song
From a time when people came together and changes were made
We all watched our screens together we sat totally engaged
We all came together sitting and watching we were enraged

The plight of the people and the tears and screams
The horrific pictures across the world they beamed to our screens
A human cry for help
A voice to those who previously only had silent dreams

We pledged our help
We shared our small bit of wealth
We looked at ways to campaign and we raised
We did all this together so we could send aid

We did this because we believed
We believed times would change
We believed that all life’s essentials
Never again be out of any human’s range

There’s a world outside your window
It is a world of dread and fear
It is a world invisible to our eyes
And when it shouts out we tend not hear

It might snow in Dublin this Christmas time
If not, it will be cold
As we wind down on Christmas eve night
In the warmth of the glow from our Christmas tree lights
We go to our beds and rest our heads
Waiting for Santa to leave presents at the bottom of beds

There’s a world outside your window
It is a world of dread of fear
The only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
The Christmas bells will ring but they will not bring cheer

It might snow is Dublin this Christmas time
They may not get a gift this year
From side streets and shop door ways
They are all potential homeless graves
Christmas night thank god, it’s them instead of you

Remember a time when we all came together
Maybe we can share instead of pretending the problem is not there
A little happiness can replace despair
Tears of sadness can be replaced by a happy face
The smallest gift the smallest donation
Can give the homeless of Ireland a Christmas to remember
