The lights around the Christmas
tree don't burn as bright
And all around the world it isn't
a silent night
Outside I hear the voices sing
the sweetest sounds of caroling
But somehow there's a sadness
in the song
In our hearts we know that
something's wrong
Chorus:
It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas
Children opening gifts with
wonder and surprise
I wish that I could still see
through such innocent eyes
I used to feel so safe inside I
had a place to run and hide
In my daddy's arms I felt secure
No one can protect us anymore
Chorus:
It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas
Sending cards that talk of peace and
love and cheer
Oh that's what we need if we'd only believe
It would be!
Chorus:
It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas
