Christmas In My Soul Lyrics - Spread Your Wings & Fly: Filmore East May 30 1971 - Laura Nyro

Come young braves 

Come young children 

Come to the book of love with me 

Respect your brothers and your sisters 

Come to the book of love 

I know it ain't easy 

But we're gonna look for a better day 

Come young braves 

Come young children. 

I love my country as it dies 

In war and pain before my eyes 

I walk the streets where disrespect has been 

The sins of politics, the politics of sin 

The heartlessness that darkens my soul 

On Christmas. 

Red and silver on the leaves 

Fallen white snow runs softly through the trees 

Madonnas weep for wars of hell 

They blow out the candles and haunt Noel 

The missing love that rings through the work 

On Christmas. 

Black panther brothers bound in jail 

Chicago seven and the justice scale 

Homeless Indian on Manhattan Isle 

All God's sons have gone to trial 

And all God's love is out of style 

On Christmas.
