Civilian Christmas
A Soldier's Wish: Yearning for a Civilian Christmas
Lyrics
It's a beautiful night
Expressing admiration for the night's beauty.
I'm walking down the city streets, looking at the colourful lights
Observing colorful lights while walking in the city streets.
Tied down to the vegetation
Feeling restricted or tied down, possibly by military service.
Don't you think it looks like Christmas?
Asking if the scenery resembles Christmas.
And all the innocent kids
Noting the presence of innocent children.
Running around without cover for more than four seconds
Highlighting the vulnerability of children without protection.
Are you seeing what I see
Questioning if others see the same things.
Or is something wrong with me this Christmas?
Expressing doubt or concern about the Christmas atmosphere.
Civilian Christmas
Referring to a Christmas experienced by civilians.
Civilian Christmas
Repeating the concept of a civilian Christmas.
'Cause it's not quite as festive
Acknowledging that the speaker's Christmas is different.
When I'm wearing my clean fatigues
Noting the contrast between festive civilian wear and military fatigues.
Civilian Christmas
Reiterating the concept of a civilian Christmas.
Civilian Christmas
Emphasizing the desire for a civilian Christmas.
All I want for Christmas
Expressing a simple wish for Christmas.
Is to be a civilian again
Desiring to return to civilian life.
Got my girlfriend a gift
Mentioning getting a gift for the girlfriend.
I won't tell you what it is
Keeping the gift a secret for Christmas suspense.
Not because it's classified restricted
Clarifying the secrecy is not due to classification.
But you know it's Christmas
Reaffirming the festive spirit of Christmas.
She gave me a smile
Receiving a rare smile from the girlfriend.
I haven't seen one of those for a while
Expressing the infrequency of seeing the girlfriend's smile.
I look at her like iron sights and I say
Comparing the gaze at the girlfriend to aiming with iron sights.
Baby you're my forever girl
Declaring affection and commitment to the girlfriend.
