Oh, Lord, when X-MAS lights
Will start blinking
Send Santa Claus down
To my home
With a single gift
Of "positive thinking"
And stick big smile to my lips
Like gum

Make me, a Barnum Circus Joker
Take sadness, that settled in this heart of mine
Teach me to play my cards, like gamblers play poker
And change tears, into happiness smile

And for X-MAS night
Change my "ego"
Let me really believe
That all is "just fine"
And help to build my future
Like kids building "Lego"
Lighten X-MAS lights
In dark heart of mine
