It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid.
At christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade.
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy!
Throw your arms around the world at christmas time!
Turn our eyes away...
I’m a broken soul, I’m an open book.
With many torn out pages.
And I walk through fire, but I thirst for truth.
For what I’ve never tasted.
And it calls to me again.
The comfort of the sin.
Turn our eyes away, turn our eyes away.
From this path we’ve taken, washing clean our faces.
Turn our eyes away, turn our eyes away.
Leaning on the hope that, one day, even we.
Oh, one day, even we will be saved.
I got a war inside, with a flag in hand.
I’ll wait to cry surrender.
While the pride in me, is fighting who I am.
Why is it that I linger?
I guess every man decides to take or save a life.
Turn our eyes away, turn our eyes away.
From this path we’ve taken, washing clean our faces.
Turn our eyes away, turn our eyes away.
Leaning on the hope that, one day, even we.
Oh, one day, even we will be saved.
We must turn our eyes away, turn our eyes away.
From this path we’ve taken, washing clean our faces.
Turn our eyes away, turn our eyes away.
Leaning on the hope that, one day, even we.
Oh, one day, even we will be saved.
It takes love over gold and mind over matter to do what you do that you must, when the things that you hold can fall and be shattered or run through your fingers like dust.
—Dire Straits
