»The Unsung Heroes of Christmas«

by Bo Lanier, December 21, 2016

Well it just breaks my heart
That you can't be home for
Christmas...nobody should have
To work on Christmas day but
Not everybody sees it my way
People make excuses and say
It's not all about the money...yeah
Right you think you're trying to fool
So for those of you that has to
Work on Christmas day this song
Is for you...the true hero of
Christmas, merry, merry Christmas
To you...
All the Doctors, the Nurses and
Pharmacists, all you truck drivers
Waiters and firemen, all of you
Retail employees, the security guards
And policemen and a special thanks
For all of you in Afghanistan...well you
Are the true heroes of Christmas this is
Clear but we still wish you were here
Home where you belong...
Oh don't you know it just breaks my heart
That the world can't stop for Jesus for just
One day out of the year well it seems like
A sin but the world is full of scrooges
Much to chagrin...
Still some make excuses and say it's
Not all about the money...yeah right you can't
Fool me in the end so this song goes out
To the true UNSUNG HEROES OF
CHRISTMAS oh bless your heart and
Soul, I just want to say hey I appreciate
More than you'll ever know and a very,
Merry, merry Christmas to you all of you
UNSUNG HEROES OF CHRISTMAS!
