*Mike and Wanya talk in the beginning:*
Mike: Hey, what´s wrong squirt?
Wanya: I don´t know man. Sometimes around this time of year I just get depressed.
Mike: Man, this isn´t the time of year to be depressed. It´s the time to be happy and giving, man.
Wanya: You know, sometimes I think about things that are happening in the world today, things I didn´t have. I just feel like crying.
Mike: We all feel that way sometimes. But, it´ll be alright.
Wanya: I just, I just wonder why.
Every day at this time of year
I wonder time and time again
Why are kids suffering?
All of the tears ´cause being caught in the crossfire (Why?)
Somebody tell me why
As the joyous day comes along
The eldest feel there´s something wrong
He´s looking for Mom but she´s not there
Kids are looking for reindeer in the air
Chorus:
She messed up again
Why?
My brother and my sister
They ain´t got no toys
What am I supposed to do
When growing up for me wasn´t joy?
It´s gonna be a why Christmas
It´s gonna be, it´s gonna be a
A why Christmas
No one was there but Grandma and her friends
A time of heartache is setting in
There´s nothing I can do
Just sit and feel pain run me through
I often wished they were never born
The thought of them not having no toys
Their little hearts were torn
I was young and I cried as well
I didn´t have a job
But I prayed to the Lord that there´d be better days
Yes, he gave me a reason to live
He gave me a sign
But I still think to that day when
Chorus
Brother and my
Brother and my
Brother and my
Sister
(repeats a lot)
Chorus (repeats to fade out)
