Merry?

  Come young braves

  Come young children

  Come to the book of love with me

  Respect your brothers and your sisters

  Come to the book of love

  I know it ain't easy

  But we're gonna look for a better day

  Come young braves

  Come young children

  
  

  I love my country

  As it dies

  In war and pain

  Before my eyes

  I walk the streets

  Where disrespect has been

  The sins of politics

  The politics of sin

  The heartlessness that darkens my soul

  On Christmas

  
  

  Red and silver

  On the leaves

  Fallen white snow

  Runs softly through the trees

  Madonnas weep

  For wars of hell

  They blow out the candles

  And haunt Noel

  The missing love that rings through the world

  On Christmas

  
  

  
  

  Now the time has come to fight

  Laws in the book of love burn bright

  People you must win

  For thee America

  Her dignity

  For all the high court world to see

  On Christmas
