*Mike and Wanya talk in the beginning:*Mike: Hey, what's wrong squirt?Wanya: I don't know man. Sometimes around this time of year I just get depressed.Mike: Man, this isn't the time of year to be depressed. It's the time to be happy and giving, man.Wanya: You know, sometimes I think about things that are happening in the world today, things I didn't have. I just feel like crying.Mike: We all feel that way sometimes. But, it'll be alright.Wanya: I just, I just wonder why.Every day at this time of yearI wonder time and time againWhy are kids suffering?All of the tears 'cause being caught in the crossfire (Why?)Somebody tell me whyAs the joyous day comes alongThe eldest feel there's something wrongHe's looking for Mom but she's not thereKids are looking for reindeer in the airChorus:She messed up againWhy?My brother and my sisterThey ain't got no toysWhat am I supposed to doWhen growing up for me wasn't joy?It's gonna be a why ChristmasIt's gonna be, it's gonna be aA why ChristmasNo one was there but Grandma and her friendsA time of heartache is setting inThere's nothing I can doJust sit and feel pain run me throughI often wished they were never bornThe thought of them not having no toysTheir little hearts were tornI was young and I cried as wellI didn't have a jobBut I prayed to the Lord that there'd be better daysYes, he gave me a reason to liveHe gave me a signBut I still think to that day whenChorusBrother and myBrother and myBrother and mySister(repeats a lot)Chorus (repeats to fade out)
