Christmas for the Free
Christmas for the Free: A Liberating Message of Love and Peace
Lyrics
This is the day of Jesus
This marks the celebration of the birth of Jesus.
This is the day of peace
Emphasizes the day of tranquility and harmony.
Joy to the world at Christmas
Expresses joy for the entire world during the Christmas season.
Jesus, this is Christmas for the free
Associates Christmas with freedom and liberation through Jesus.
Blunt is the pain of hunger
Highlights the dullness of hunger's impact.
Cold is the wind of grief motherless child
Describes the chilling sorrow experienced by a motherless child.
Has a hard time for comfort
Acknowledges the difficulties faced by those seeking comfort.
Jesus, this is Christmas for the free
Reiterates that Christmas is a time for freedom.
Maybe you’d decide
Suggests a need for thoughtful decision-making.
If you’d just stop talking all the while
Encourages stopping excessive talk and taking action.
About the honour and the style
Criticizes preoccupation with appearances and solutions.
Of your solution look around you
Encourages awareness of the surroundings and issues.
Open your heart and let your love grow
Advocates opening one's heart and fostering love.
I want to be loved
Expresses a desire for love and emotional support.
And I can’t be crying all the while
Addresses the challenge of constant tears and sadness.
I need someone to smile for just the feeling
Desires someone to bring joy and happiness.
Joy to the world at Christmas
Repeats the joyous sentiment for the world during Christmas.
Love to the folk who can
Extends love to those who are capable of giving and receiving it.
Meanwhile the promises
Alludes to unfulfilled promises and physical suffering.
And bodies are broken, Jesus
Associates the broken bodies with the presence of Jesus.
Bloody in this winter wonderland
Symbolizes a harsh reality within the festive winter setting.
Where is the love of Jesus?
Ponders the absence of Jesus' love in the world.
Where is the love of peace?
Questions the whereabouts of peace during Christmas.
Where are the people
Inquires about the individuals who promised comfort.
Who promised us comfort?
Raises concern about people quarreling instead of providing for needs.
Why are they quarrelling their needs?
Highlights the discrepancy between promises and actions.
When this is the day of Jesus
Reiterates the significance of Jesus' day.
When this is the day of peace
Reiterates the importance of peace during this time.
Joy to the world at Christmas time
Echoes joy to the world during Christmas.
Jesus, this is Christmas for the free
Affirms that Christmas is a celebration of freedom.
