Backstory:

my four year old son did the spoken verse

Bring Him Home
(Music and lyrics by Ray Allen Kayanek)
spoken v
Dear Santa my names Johnny and I've been really good
I really liked my stuff last year just like you knew I would
you always bring the perfect toy you know I can't resist
but this year I am sending you a shorter Christmas list
my daddy is gone far away he's fighting in a war
I'm not sure if you can do what I'm asking for
all I want is to wake up this year on Christmas Day
and have my daddy there with me safely home to stay
pre chorus
Santa could hear Johnny's pain as it echoed in his heart
Christmas is when families are together not apart
c
bring him home bring him home
for Christmas bring my daddy home to me
Christmas is a time when families
should celebrate around the Christmas tree
anyone who can go round the world in a night
magically touching every boy and girls life
can find a way to get my daddy here
that's all I want for Christmas this year
v
Santa wrote to Johnny he said that he was touched
though you're so unselfish I can only do so much
I passed along your letter to a very special friend
it's within his power to make this war end
His Son was also far away long ago one Christmas Day
maybe if you ask Him to He will stop this war for you
I want you to kneel and pray say what you have to say
maybe He'll show me the way to grant your wish on Christmas Day

repeat prechorus

repeat chorus

tag spoken
can I have that for Christmas this year
