Maybe Someday lyrics

i've been told since i was young
that everytime that christmas comes
santa comes with gifts and toys
for every little girl and boy

i've been told since i was small
that christmas comes with peace for all
everyone loves and no one hates
it's been said that life is great

maybe someday i would see
the christmas they keep showing me
the picture of how things should be
the one they keep on asking me to see

maybe someday (maybe someday)
[2x]

i wonder if they'll ever see
the children begging on the streets
the old man sleeping on the bed
of concrete underneath the shed

i wonder if they'll ever see
the family with no food to eat
the father with no gift to leave
underneath the tree on christmas eve

maybe someday (maybe someday)
[4x]

maybe someday i would see
the christmas they keep showing me
the picture of how things should be
the one they keep on asking me to see
