Lyrics Sample
You wake, you yawn:  right then you know it’s Christmas.
You long to start the day ahead.
You run to wake your sleeping family.
They rub their eyes and smile at you:
That’s Christmas gold!
That’s Christmas gold!

Under the tree

In brightly coloured wrapping,

Your gifts are there to be revealed.

You watch; you hope

That what you chose to give

Will please them all ’cos if it does

That’s Christmas gold!

That’s Christmas gold!

And if you’re lucky you will find Christmas gold...

But if your world turned upside down at Christmas,

And if no-one was there for you,

You’d need someone to come from out of nowhere:

Pick you up and help you find

That Christmas gold,

That Christmas gold...
