CHRISTMAS MORNING
by Carol Bemmels and Ross Flanagan

It's winter and light is alive on the earth.
Wake up! It's Christmas morning.
Starlight and firelight and sunlight give birth.
Wake up! The Christ-child's a-borning.

CHORUS: He's man and He's woman. He's old and He's young.
He's Buddhist and Christian and Jew.
She's wealthy, She's poor, She's black and She's white,
And, oh yes, the Christ-child is you.

Sisters and brothers, whatever your sleep,
Wake up! It's Christmas morning.
Bring with you dreams for the daylight to keep.
Wake up! The Christ-child's a-borning.

Jesus was good and He lived long ago.
Wake up! It's Christmas morning.
You are good, too, and are living now, so
Wake up! the Christ-child's a-borning.
