Steve's New Christmas Song

When the Romans ruled in Israel
A savior child was born
Would he lead the zealots and sound the battle horn?

But not a general or a warlord
or a president was he
He taught "in a transformation is the key"

Christmas came out of a war.
Christmas was born into hostile occupation.
So maybe come goodwill can come from me and you.

We know Jesus was born in a manger,
that's what the stories say.
And today we live in castles while we pray.
Maybe celebrating Christmas can still keep us occupied.
But the Romans haven't left us, they're still inside.

Christmas came out of a war.
Christmas was born into hostile occupation.
So maybe some goodwill can come from me and you.

Christmas is coming again.
Christmas is coming again.
Christmas is coming again.
Christmas is coming again.
