A long time ago, one dark night There was a star in the east shining bright Shepherds sitting out on a hill Watching their sheep lying still They got on their camels and began to ride Didn't know how far, didn't know how wide Followed the star to a keeper's stall There found the greatest gift of all (And the) real meaning of christmas (Talkin' bout the) real meaning of christmas You know the real meaning of christmas is Christ Over the years things have changed Christmas day has lost it's zing Instead of celebrating his birth And praising his presents in the earth We've turned this day into a fairytale Frosty men and red-nosed dear A holiday just for me A sale on a shopping spree To seek him is still wise And to find him just look inside If at this time we get real still We find out what the meaning is (For the) real meaning of christmas (I've found out the) real meaning of christmas Hey the real meaning of christmas is christ (Yes it is) Oh now Give gifts on that day Well it's fine, it's ok Alright to say "I love you" Show someone you care But when you give Just give it in his name Lift a heart and ease the pain Make a child smile a while
