The lights around the Christmas tree don´t burn as bright
And all around the world it isn´t a silent night
Outside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling
But somehow there´s a sadness in the song
In our hearts we know that something´s wrong

{Refrain:}
It´s a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same

Everything has changed
It´s a different kind of Christmas

Children opening gifts with wonder and surprise
I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes
I used to feel so safe inside I had a place to run and hide
In my daddy´s arms I felt secure
No one can protect us anymore

{au Refrain}

Everything has changed
It´s a different kind of Christmas

Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer
Oh that´s what we need if we´d only believe
It would be!

{au Refrain}

Everything has changed
It´s a different kind of Christmas
