The lights around the Christmas tree don’t burn as brightAnd all around the world it isn’t a silent nightOutside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of carolingBut somehow there’s a sadness in the songIn our hearts we know that something’s wrong[Chorus:]It’s a different kind of ChristmasIn a different kind of worldEven though it looks the sameEverything has changedIt’s a different kind of ChristmasChildren opening gifts with wonder and surpriseI wish that I could still see through such innocent eyesI used to feel so safe inside I had a place to run and hideIn my daddy’s arms I felt secureNo one can protect us anymore[Chorus]Everything has changedIt’s a different kind of ChristmasSending cards that talk of peace and love and cheerOh that’s what we need if we’d only believeIt would be![Chorus]Everything has changedIt’s a different kind of Christmas
