Ray Hansell - Christmas War

Here’s another Christmas
We’re still engaged in war
I was hoping last year
The wars would be no more

But still the fighting lingers
For how long is anybodies guess
It seems the way it’s going
It’s become a game of chess

One side moves then the other
Then there a pause
But for now we know they’ll be no visit
From a man called Santa Claus

So here once again is hoping
That you return home real fast
Hoping that the war you fight
Will soon be in the past

So here’s wishing you the best
To you and your platoon
Hoping that all of you
Return home very soon
