GUEST,guest--Pat Nowell Know any hard-hitting christmas songs? (144* d) Lyr Add: MAKE MY PRESENT SMALL (Bob Coltman) 28 Jul 01


Bob Coltman recorded a thought provoking song in 1985 on the BMI label, called

MAKE MY PRESENT SMALL

Santa Claus I'm writing to you with extra special care.  
This request's important; please grant it this year.
I'm asking for just one thing, and it is for us all.
Not asking much for me alone, so make my present small.

REFRAIN:
Make my present small, just peace on earth for all,
Real peace on earth, good will to men,
And make my present small.

I know I've asked you other years
for trains and other toys.
But Santa, this year simply bring
joy to all girls and boys.
To hungry ones please bring them food
to chilly ones bring fire,
And Santa, bring them, if you can,
peace for their hearts' desire.
REPEAT REFRAIN
I know this letter's getting long,
and there's so little time,
But Santa, bring an end to all the hurtfulness and crime.
To every face please bring a smile,
to every heart a kiss.
I'd forfeit all my Christmas gifts
if you would just do this.
REPEAT REFRAIN
