Hang out the stockings,
Pray to the lord,
Let Santa shower
His magic on all
Let the fun and frolic
Celebrations and treats
Fill the space under the Christmas tree
May your stockings be filled
On the morrow
May your chimney way have a big enough hollow
For Santa to enter and exit
In a jiffy
He isn't going to forget you, is he!
May the carols pave way
For a better new year
May the merriness make
The eve endeared
To all in here I say this much
Wish you all a merry Christmas!!
I never thought I would lose my sleep
But all these thoughts I cannot keep,
Inside, my head there's a thunderstorm,
That rains on hope and thoughts warm.
Craving for a little piece of sunshine,
As darkness envelops my delirious mind
A ray of hope, a symbol or sign
Maybe only intervention divine
Can save me now, for the bugle's sounded
The chip on my shoulder, is fairly astounded
through this wringer I must go again,
A war of rules, clash of minds restrained
A fairly average game to lose,
I so did not want my life confused,
Where is that star I used to see,
Alas the sky is growing weak,
I look across the horizons spread
The stars they fade, there's the sun instead
How long have I been gazing by
And searched in the wrong part of the sky
How long have I been pushing the bend,
The dead end I didn't think to mend
My ways, I missed the turn somewhere,
Looking back and the darkness glares
Destiny they say are made by choices,
When silence get replaced by voices,
The decision now has to be made,
To stare the wall, or gaze the ray
Of sunlight that marks my new way
Maybe this will take me away
From the dread, that's filled up to the seams
Maybe one night will help me sleep
Twisting and turning
With my thoughts unsettled
Like a very hot fire
Under a burning kettle
These ideas, they stew, they boil and they cook
At the end of my wits, everywhere I've looked
A way is what I need right now, one desperate move
Or it will be checkmate again guessing nothing new
I refuse to go down without a fight
Most certainly I refuse to go down
I may hide, find ways to bide my time
Soul searching, this soul is well bestowed
At times I falter, I fall down
Get bogged by invisible chains
These chains that tie my thoughts and heart,
my hands and legs and brain
They seem impossible to be unshackled
How can I begin to try?
Among the ridicule and cruel heckle
It makes me want to cry
It makes me want to give up
this fight, You, can have it all
All the mud slings gory
All the glory and awards
But something stirs inside
How can I let it be?
How can I let myself be trapped
With bitter memories?
How can something as trivial
As bitter conjectures
Shackle everything I know
Time for my deflector
These imaginary bonds
Shall be put to test
All Chinese whispers and whisperers
Shall be put to rest
And all the demons in my head
All of them will be slayed
They say it is a nightmare
Of dreams I'm not afraid
It's time to take a silent moment
With conviction I must move
Not let this break my swagger
This moment I shall use
To rise above the clouds
My own standards be surpassed
Things need to be set right
In stone nothing's cast.
