Alan Merrill Lyrics
"Give All the Children Christmas"

Give All the Children Christmas

Words and Music Alan Merrill, J. & S. Tiven

In the mind of a child
Look through his eyes for a little while
When he turns around and cries
"Mother, tell me why...

Why does there have to be suffering?
Why does there have to be hurt?
Things could be so much better
If only we'd get down to work"

So give All the Children Christmas
Put some food on every plate
Give All the Children Christmas
Put a smile on all the childrens face

See the world in black and white
Its a case of share and share alike
Our special day belongs to you
Your holiday's a part of me too

So keep the home fires burning
Don't let the cold freeze you out
Long as this world keeps on turning
That's what this season's all about

So give All the Children Christmas
Put some food on every plate
Give All the Children Christmas
Put a smile on every little face

Make your wishes
And say your prayers
So when they pass the bread around
Everybody gets a share

So give All the Children Christmas

Give All the Children Christmas

Give All the Children Christmas
Put some food on every plate
Give All the Children Christmas
Put a smile on all the childrens face

Give All the Children Christmas
Feed the children
Feed the children
Give All the Children Christmas
