Spotlight on Christmas
One, two, three, four
People love the working man
Who does the best that he can
But don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
People say they love the maid
Who sweats and toils just like a slave
But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
Never could fix the poor little rich girls
You can measure it in blood
You can measure it in myrrh
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measuring away
'Cause it's Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on us
People love and people hate
People go and people wait
But don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Once were a family, poor but rich in hope, yeah
Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Running from the law King Herod had imposeth
And they were each one quite odd
And mensch, a virgin, and a God
But don't forget that what kept them afloat
Floating through the desert doesn't take a boat, no
Don't forget that what kept them above
Is unconditional love
And you can measure it in blood
You can measure it in myrrh
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measuring away
'Cause it's Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on us
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on
People love the working man
Who does the best that he can
But don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
People love the working man
Who does the best that he can
But don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
People say they love the maid
Who sweats and toils just like a slave
But don't forget all the diamonds and pearls
Never could fix the poor little rich girls
You can measure it in blood
You can measure it in myrrh
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measuring away
'Cause it's Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on us
People love and people hate
People go and people wait
But don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Once were a family, poor but rich in hope, yeah
Don't forget Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Running from the law King Herod had imposeth
And they were each one quite odd
And mensch, a virgin, and a God
But don't forget that what kept them afloat
Floating through the desert doesn't take a boat, no
Don't forget that what kept them above
Is unconditional love
And you can measure it in blood
You can measure it in myrrh
Let us say for these twelve days
Put the measuring away
'Cause it's Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on us
And the spotlight's shining on Christmas
And the spotlight's shining on
People love the working man
Who does the best that he can
But don't forget all the horses and toys
Never could fix the poor little rich boys
