Lyrics Sample

Solo

Please will you help me?

I’m lost and alone.

I’m so tired and hungry.

I’ve no place to call home.

Can’t you hear me knocking?

Please open up the door,

And I’ll wish you a very merry Christmas

From now to ever more.

All

Please will you listen?

She’s there in the rain.

If only you’d help her

Stop the tears and the pain.

Can’t you hear her knocking?

Please open up the door,

And she’ll wish you a very merry Christmas

From now to ever more...
