An Orphan’s Christmas Wish

Hopeful faces peering
Thru frosted window panes
How can we sleep for wondering
If Santa's on his way

Will Santa come today?

Across a hundred mountains
You saw high in the sky
How do we sleep for wondering
If you will pass us by

Lined up in rows of twenty
No pillows for our heads
And as we wish your journey
Hundreds of miles away

A hundred miles away

Christmas Day around the world
Will Santa's magic sleigh
Bring joy to us today

Christmas Day around the world
Let the sleigh bells ring
With all the love it brings

Christmas Day around the world
Can Santa's toy-filled sleigh
Bring joy to you this day

Teddys and toys we asked for
New clothes and nice new shoes
And this year please, dear Santa
Bring lots of love from you

For all the children do

Christmas Day around the world
Will Santa's magic sleigh
Bring joy to us today

Christmas Day around the world
Let the sleigh bells ring
With all the love it brings

Christmas Day around the world
Can Santa's toy-filled sleigh
Bring joy to you this day

Christmas Day around the world
Will Santa's magic sleigh
Bring joy to us today

Christmas Day around the world
Let the sleigh bells ring
With all the love it brings

Christmas Day around the world
Can Santa's toy-filled sleigh
Bring joy to you this day
