Christmas, what a wonderful time of year   But it can also be a dark and lonely time   And if you don't spend it with those you truly love   Well, it can feel just like any other day   So this is a prayer for the lonely   Especially those children all around the world   Whose hearts have been torn apart this year      So pardon my tears, things are different this year   There's a cry I can't ignore   I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish   I'm praying this Christmas prayer   That wherever you are, may the bright morning star   Lead you to someone who cares      Well, Jimmy Stewart's on my screen again   Man, I miss those simple black and white days   Then someone hits the remote and I see the sad dark eyes   Of a young girl on the other side of the world   And I think about the things she's had to see   Things my children can't even imagine      So pardon my tears, things are different this year   There's a cry I can't ignore   I've thrown out my list and instead of a wish   I'm praying this Christmas prayer   That wherever you are, may the bright morning star   Lead you to someone who cares      So whoever you are know, that God's shining star   Always leads you to someone who cares
