I keep hearing this song on the radio by Steven Curtis Chapman. It reminds me of my boys. It reminds me of the campers. It reminds me of all of the foster kids in the system. It reminds me of orphans all over the world.
What I Really Want
by Steven Curtis Chapman
by Steven Curtis Chapman
Well I don't know if you remember me or not
I'm one of the kids they brought in from the home
I was the red-haird boy in an old green flannel shirt
You may not have seen me - I was standing off alone
I didn't come and talk to you, 'cause that's never worked before
And you'll probably never see theis letter anyway
But just in case there's something you can do to help me out
I'll ask you one more time
All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for
But there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family.
Well I guess I should go ahead and tell you now
If it's really true about that list you have
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight
But I'm really trying hard not to be bad
But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with
Well, maybe they could teach me how to get along
And from everything I've heard
Sounds like the greatest gift on earth would be a mom.
All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for
But there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family.
If someone who'll be there
To sing me "Happy Birthday"
For the next 100 years
And it's OK if they're not perfect
Well, even if they're a little broken, that's alright
Because so am I
Well I guess I should go
It's almost time for bed
And maybe next time I write you
I'll be at home
All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
Shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for
But there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas is a family.
Just a family
That's all I really need
That's my prayer...that all kids everywhere can one day have an earthly family.
