Walking along the sidewalk Hiding behind a corner While I tried to answer Watching the children play boy turned around to say: The boy disappeared in the night I have seen "I have seen On my own Smiling faces waiting for christmas day a thousand people crying on a christmas day" I was left there wondering if he was right () And I began to think about it Was it ever meant to be that way "Love is the answer" said a voice in the crowd and I saw that boy run away "Why don't you stay? Where did you hide? H Will I see you again? Why don't you stay?" And as I stood there alone Staring into the night ) I have seen a thousand people searching for the light If you are lost and lonely If you're alone today Find that boy And let him show you And he will care about you when the night is long He will make you smile again and sing along Let's join our hands and let us pray For love on christmas day Let's join our hands and let us pray For love on christmas day
