First we take one step forward then we move back back two
In this time of selfless giving just think what we can do
Every day they wait for something not knowing what will be
Every night they lay back dreamin' of things we can not see--and

So the story goes
So the story goes

Take the time to give this Christmas, show them all you care
Here we stand hands joined together, we have this gift to share
We'll sing a song for all the people livin' in the streets
We'll give them hope to carry on now and dreams they'll always keep--oh

So the story goes
So the story goes

Think about your Christimas tidings, think of those with less
Give them all you've got to give to make this year the best
Now everybody make a circle and dance 'til you fall down
Bring them joy and love and laughter, the spirit has been found--yeah

So the story goes make them smile like Christmas time
So the story goes make them smile like Christmas time, Christmas time
So the story goes make them smile like Christmas time
So the story goes make them smile like Christmas time, Christmas time
So the story goes
