I’m not going to blog or comment or anything until the 27th, since it’s break time and I want to spend time with my family. So, anyway, until then, I want to post the lyrics to a not very well known, but extremely awesome Christmas song.
It’s a Pearl Award nominated song by Jeff Hinton, an amazing songwriter who deserves more attention (it doesn’t hurt we’ve both appeared on some of the same CD compilations).
After the fold are the lyrics:
It’s About a Boy
It’s not about mistletoe, greeting cards or stockings on the wall
No, not at all
It’s not about lights aglow, or decorations hanging on a tree
It’ll never beIt’s about Peace on Earth
It’s about a Holy birth
It’s about Mary and Joseph
In a manager filled with Joy
It’s about a BoyIt’s not about toys and trains, credit cards, or shoppers at the mall
No, not at all
It’s not about candy canes, reindeer sleighs, or jolly Santa Claus
It never wasIt’s about Peace on Earth
It’s about a Holy birth
It’s about Mary and Joseph
In a manager filled with Joy
It’s about a Boy
It’s simple and straightforward and may not be all that profound – but I still find it one song I listen to over and over during the holiday season.
Hope y’all have a great Christmas.
