the lights around the christmas tree don t burn as bright and all around the world it isn t a silent night outside i hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling but somehow there s a sadness in the song in our hearts we know that something s wrong it s a different kind of christmas in a different kind of world even though it looks the same everything has changed it s a different kind of christmas children opening gifts with wonder and surprise i wish that i could still see through such innocent eyes i used to feel so safe inside i had a place to run and hide in my daddy s arms i felt secure no one can protect us anymore it s a different kind of christmas in a different kind of world even though it looks the same everything has changed it s a different kind of christmas sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer oh that s what we need if we d only believe it would be it s a different kind of christmas in a different kind of world even though it looks the same everything has changed
