[Verse 1]
This Christmas Eve
Alone but not lost
Reflecting on the past
The bridges I’ve crossed
I saw a boy standing against a tree
Homeless
Helpless
How can this be
Standing in the cold
His story
Untold
[Chorus]
My story not the same
I still share in his pain
Never to be lost again
Another day
Just one more I pray
Grateful for the chance
At finding my way
I’m listening
No more tears
Holding onto hope
Facing my fears
[Verse 2]
His hands were bare
No gloves to wear
A reflection of the path
I once dared
I drove around again
I could see his pain
I found a pair of gloves to share
To show him someone cared
[Chorus]
My story not the same
I still share in his pain
Never to be lost again
Another day
Just one more I pray
Grateful for the chance
At finding my way
I’m listening
No more tears
Holding onto hope
Facing my fears
[Verse 3]
I have a responsibility to bear
He is someone’s son
Why is he on the run
His story is bleak
His chances are nil
His battle with life
Is all uphill
[Chorus]
My story not the same
I still share in his pain
Never to be lost again
Another day
Just one more I pray
Grateful for the chance
At finding my way
I’m listening
No more tears
Holding onto hope
Facing my fears
[Verse 4]
His world of strife
Should be no boy’s life
It is Christmas Eve
I can’t believe
How a boy that’s shaking by a tree
No presents
No toy
For this boy to enjoy
[Chorus]
My story not the same
I still share in his pain
Never to be lost again
Another day
Just one more I pray
Grateful for the chance
At finding my way
I’m listening
No more tears
Holding onto hope
Facing my fears
[Bridge/Outro spoken]
The words of the song
I pass along
For a pair of gloves
To come along
Someone’s boy
Someone to love
Christmas for this boy
Only by grace from above
