Even though I cannot give you
Stamps for a letter
To send to Santa
To make things better
I'm taping the windows
Just to keep the heat in
Cause even God doesn't know
The situation we're in
No heat in the furnace
No food on the table
No one's hiring
Storefronts are vacant
I'm pounding the pavement
Just to keep the lights on
Cause even your Mom doesn't know
Will never know
Can't ever know
What the letter said
Can you take me away
I've heard my Mommy prayin'
But no one listens
I'm begging on my knees
Begging you please
Make the world right again
Make the world smile again
Tossin' and turnin'
Night after cold night
Gotta do for my family
Can't give up the fight
After all my worries
One thing is clear
He signed the letter
He signed it in his own tears
And this is what it said
It said
Can you take me away
I've heard my Mommy prayin'
But no one listens
I'm begging on my knees
Begging you please
Make the world right again
Make the world smile again
Suddenly throught the magic of that night
I saw it
Oh! So clear
He was asking for the love
That used to be here
So the one thing
I could do
To take away his fear
Was to give him all my love
never have to hear
It said
Can you take me away
I've heard my Mommy prayin'
But no one listens
I'm begging on my knees
Begging you please
Make the world right again
Make the world smile again
It said
Can you take me away
I've heard my Mommy prayin'
But no one listens
I'm begging on my knees
Begging you please
Make the world right again
Make the world smile again
