CHRISTMAS CARD

HIGHTYDE
I’m humble and poor, a poor bum just stumbling toward
a number of stores, Lord, I’m hungry and sore!
And plus I have no friends, my family’s missing
and I just wanna be happy again for Christmas
But no go, yo, the snow is freezing
(Achoo!) I’m sneezing, Tis the only season
I can’t stand, BLAM! as I went downward
Ic is slick, I tripped and hit the ground hard
And as I woke, I found this brown card
And read 'er, maybe things will get better than they now are
and if not, they won’t, I’ll stay afloat
I’ll pray and hope one day I won’t be broke
Until that day I’ll stay a joke
A face unknown, it’s so amazing yo it’s

HIGHTYDE
It’s no miracle, Yo here I go
So spiritual, Don’t fear it though
Are you listening to what I say?
Don’t run away, Oh what a day
Can you believe? Come Christmas Eve, it's

HIGHTYDE
It’s a miracle, the shopping mall is hysterical
I can’t even get inside to buy my kid a new stereo
And he wants one more than anything
I see a bum outside begging for change
and I wonder just how much joy can a penny bring?
I’m like, “look at you, you’re filthy, dirty
and I’m even sure I feel you’re worthy!”
With that said, he looked at me kinda funny
Like he’s displeased
or he had some type of disease in his tummy
He was like, “help me out, I’m broke and hungry
And you have groceries, yo, can I have some, please?”
And I said, “just let go of me, you bum, I have enough mouths at home to feed
And you are not one, so I pushed him hard
I dropped my stuff, this bum just took my card and ran
MAN, I’m mad, I called the feds ‘cause
this bum took my card and all it said was

HIGHTYDE
It’s no miracle, Yo here I go
So spiritual, Don’t fear it though
Are you listening to what I say?
Don’t run away, Oh what a day
Can you believe? Come Christmas Eve, it's

HIGHTYDE
It’s happy as ever, no matter the weather
Whether you like it or not we’re happy as family together
But then Heather looked outside the window at dinner
And noticed someone homeless
and told us that he looks like he should to be in here
so as I, stood right up to close the curtains
I felt the strangest emotion emerging
I looked outside, so I’d be certain
I screamed, “that’s that bum, I think I hurt him!”
I opened the door, and what did I see
this bum’s no crook, he looks a little like me, in fact
He looked exactly like I did
“Aren’t you cold?” I said, “C’mon step right in!”
and from that day, I changed direction
when I see him, I see the same reflection
but check this, I’m no longer hateful
don’t believe me? Read the card I gave you

HIGHTYDE
It’s no miracle, Yo here I go
So spiritual, Don’t fear it though
Are you listening to what I say?
Don’t run away, Oh what a day
Can you believe? Come Christmas Eve, it's
