about

For all those that lost or got lost during the pandemic. We just felt the world needed a song that expresses the mixture of sadness and determination and sense of humour that has got us this far.

lyrics

It’s Christmas Time, twenty twenty one
And families are damaged or gone
And I wish I knew and understood, the fox in our midst
Who misled us, and caused, this rift

But it was never, a virgin birth
You were never what you’re worth
And you always meant the sun, moon and earth to me
Not dying young, but living free

The companions of Jesus, we were told
To betray each other, sell our neighbours down the road
We were frozen in our homes in fear
Cold and distanced, from those, we hold dear

But it was never a virgin birth
You were never what you’re worth
And you always meant the sun, moon, and earth to me
Not bowing down, but breathing free

You never, let, me down
You always, came, around
You said, I don’t give a damn, if they send me down
Raise a drink to me and know you set me free

And remember it was never a virgin birth
That was an expectation we could never meet
But loving was good enough for you and me
Yes loving, just like the birds and the bees
