CHRISTMAS STAR
I look up into the sky tonight
And see the stars so bright
It is December 2nd and they announced
That we lost Ten more Marines today,
Families don't know if their son or daughter
Husband or wife, grandson or granddaughter, are safe tonight
Some Marine's families will have the best Christmas ever
Knowing that their loved one survived
I wonder as they go to the door with the worst possible news
There will be no Christmas for their family
Gifts will go unopened; lives turned upside down
No longer looking at the stars or even seeing the Christmas Star
The eleven who were wounded will have much to celebrate
Their Christmas present has been given to them and family
They will be forever grateful
They will look at the night sky
Asking for just one gift
Let me make it home for next Christmas
In the future they will look back and remember
Their friends whose families lost this Christmas
They will be remembered these Ten in a special way
And Jesus will be there with His arm around their shoulder
Words not spoken except in the heart
He will make the stars shine brighter it will be their Christmas Star
