lyrics

WHAT CAN YOU GIVE THIS CHRISTMAS?
copyright (c) 2017 Roo Friend APRA

WHAT CAN YOU GIVE
THIS CHRISTMAS?
CAN YOU SPARE A CARE?
OR A THOUGHT FOR THOSE
WHO HAVE NOTHING?
AND NOWHERE TO GO

IT'S A TIME FOR PEACE IN THIS WORLD
IT'S A TIME TO REPAIR BRIDGES BROKEN
IT IS A TIME TO TAKE BACK
HARSH WORDS SPOKEN
SO BE OPEN
AND FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF FOR A WHILE

CHORUS

YOU KNOW WE'VE ALL TOO MUCH
AND IT CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS FOREVER
THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE IN GREAT GREAT NEED
SO PUT YOUR HAND IN YOUR POCKET
AND GIVE JUST WHAT YOU CAN
AND FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF
YEAH FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF
FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF FOR A WHILE

CHORUS
