I woke up early and grabbed me a snack
I grabbed a paper with news of attack
A clerk was gunned down in his store last night
The money’s gone and the thief’s taken flight
The cops said the thief needed Christmas money
To buy gifts for his kids and his honey
So I thought, “Well, what do you think of that?
He just needed money to buy some crack.”
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
For Christmas this year
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
For holly and cheer
I turned on the TV, there was some news
A gun man in Philly turned and let loose
Shot up some people in a strip mall
Then he shot himself and then that was all
But for those families there’s no silent night
No cup of cheer, no way to make this right
A baby born two thousand years ago
Seems too far away from this Christmas glow
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
For Christmas this year
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To shed a good tear
Each passing year kills something good in me
Santa's been dead for an eternity
Holiday cheer turned out to be a fraud
The manger's empty and where is your God?
Stockings are hung, the Christmas tree shines bright
Yet all's not holy, there's no silent night
Police sirens blare out in lonely streets
Another bloody end somebody meets
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
For Christmas this year
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
To quell all my fears
Yet Christmas still flickers inside our hearts
It's not in gifts but in love we impart
Despair trails us from cradle to grave
It does not have to rule how we behave
For there is love that yet can still be found
Not for just one day but for all year `round
It's found in the little things that we do
Embrace it because each day is brand new
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
For Christmas this year
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
To have you all near
