When you're feeling down
You say nothing's good
When you look around
Say you're not understood
You say life is bad
No one cares for you
Say you're growing dead
Say that you live the blues
But it isn't right
You know what I mean
You say you're unhappy
But that's what you've never been
'Cause you've got a home
Got all close to you
And so many people
Wish they could live like you do
Try to be different this Christmas
Think of those who are really sad
Try to see their Christmas
Then you'll see who's growing dead
Make someone happy this Christmas
Think of giving a helping hand
Share with them your Christmas
Show them that they've got a friend
You've got ears to hear
You've got legs to run
All for you is clear
Got eyes to see the sun
Got a mind to think
Know what's right or wrong
You've got everything
Your life is bright and strong
You know you're all right
You know it is true
Can't you see the blessings?
The Lord's smiling at you!
So, lift up your hands
No time to complain
Be different this Christmas
And ease someone else's pain
Try to be different this Christmas
Think of those who are really sad
Try to see their Christmas
Then you'll see who's growing dead
Make someone happy this Christmas
Think of giving a helping hand
Share with them your Christmas
Show them that they've got a friend
Make someone happy this Christmas
Do help someone stop shedding tears
Be different this Christmas!
Can't you see happiness is near?
And have a very merry Christmas
Don't let anything make you fall
A very bright Christmas
That's what I do wish you all
A wonderful Christmas
That's what I do wish you all
A very merry Christmas
That's what I do wish you all
