What I want for Christmas...
The list could go on and on
PS3, new cell phone
A camera would be nice
And after my laptop crashed...
A new one definitely is needed
Plus, look at all my old clothes
I think Santa could pull out a few shirts
Maybe a dress, some jeans
Or maybe a purse from Louis Vuiton
Shoes... That's what I need
That's what a girl needs
Nice heels to match that gorgeous smile
A nice pair of shoes...
Or maybe material isn't everything?
But don't they say...
We live in a material world
But not me, not me... Not me
I want something more
I don't want any of that
Sure it would be nice, but what do I really need?
Love, friendship
Someone who's there
World peace would be nice
And how about change?
Less homeless on the streets
More money for the poor
Free college education
And for health care to be affordable
Even for me
That's what I need
That's what the world needs
And more than anything at all
What the world needs for Christmas
Is a voice, someone who isn't afraid to speak
Speak up, say it louder
Make sure you're heard
Because we need someone to shout out
Someone to hold their voice
And that could be you...
And that could be me...
Could even be the homeless man
On the side of the streets
Signing to you
Merry Christmas
And A Happy New Year
