Love the concept and lyrics..
Agree 100% and I too say Merry Christmas everywhere I go and many times I get the retort back after they have already said the politically correct "Happy Holidays"...Likewise not "religious" but am very spiritual. I am very confident based upon my own personal experiences that there is way more going on here than we are capable of understanding in the physical state we are imprisoned in while we exist in this dimension. I was raised Catholic and and totally believe Christ was a real person of which the religion that evolved from his existence is in the roots of America. So we boomers grew up in a very Christian world...So many things are being forced to be changed to fit into todays politically correct "don't want to offend anybody" keyhole..I don't think it is right and I think it is important for people to know and respect what Christmas was originally about, the cool story that goes with it and to minimize or try and erase that pisses me off.
I don't believe this but let's just say that Jesus was made up like Batman, Superman. To force a change of story because some people don't like the story of batman or superman is lame..Batman is Batman, Superman is Superman, Jesus is Jesus and each has a story...It just happens that a lot of Jesus fans decided to create a celebration of his birth and the story of why he came to earth and called it Christmas. Kind of like a annual Star Trek convention...and for 800 years they had these Star Trek conventions on the same date every year and suddenly people that were Batman fans said it is offensive to just celebrate Star Trek...lets call it happy super hero day...
OK maybe not making a lot of sense or a great argument but I just don't dig that in a matter of 30 years the Politically correct have bamboozled the general public into buying into the idea that what we have been calling and celebrating for 100's years as Christmas is just not right...it's not fair... weird...
Holy Moses!
I wrote this one about 10 years ago regarding the subject...again I am not "religious" but I love the story of Jesus and all that he represents as far as being a good, kind loving person...and spreading the message that the greatest commandment is "Love one another".
Look at the baby in the manger
He's gonna die at the hands of strangers
Came to this world to save us from ourselves
See the three wise men riding in the night
Following the star so bright
Bearing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
It's Christmas Time
I can tell by the lines in the department stores
Merry Christmas
Hope you remember what Christmas is for
]
It's the birthday of Jesus
Jesus Christ
Born in a manger in Bethlehem
He came to save us
Every one, in every land
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah the king has come, the king has come.
The lyrics make more sense when they are sung to the music I wrote for it but I just didn't get enough time to do this one this year...I will get it recorded now that I have this mixer to iPhone thing figured out...
