Black Santa
by
Andrew James Crawford
A Long time ago from deep in somebodies Mind
Idea shadowed Babe Jesus, Even-for the Deaf, Dumb & Blind
As we come from different countries from all over the place
This made-up character will have Different Name, Different Face
St Nicholas they call him, as story goes
As for Brothers, Sisters, Friends, Nobody knows
Red, White and Snow is the recognised Brand
In only One Night travels every single Land?
When you’re Ready the Big Secret, is revealed to you
Man from Lapland, Rudolf, Flying Sleigh, is not really True
Why do we pass down this story, when we know it’s a Lie
Because this, Unicorns and Fairies, will make people buy
See the Joy in their Smiles and Glint in their Eyes
As presents unwrapped, to reveal the inside surprise
No matter how Big and No matter how Small
The Sprit of Love & Giving…Touches One Touches ALL
So it’s the Spirit that lives Inside Me Inside You
That manifests itself in the things that We Say and We Do
All around the World, where-ever you’re at
Santa is Spirit, White, Yellow, Brown and Santa is Black
