A Different Kind of Christmas

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



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 any more



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



Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer

Oh, that's what we need if we'd only believe

It would be 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...

Different kind of Christmas
