*Mike and Wanya talk in the beginning:*

Mike: Hey, what's wrong squirt?

Wanya: I don't know man. Sometimes around this time of year I just get depressed.

Mike: Man, this isn't the time of year to be depressed. It's the time to be happy and giving, man.

Wanya: You know, sometimes I think about things that are happening in the world today, things I didn't have. I just feel like crying.

Mike: We all feel that way sometimes. But, it'll be alright.

Wanya: I just, I just wonder why. 



Every day at this time of year

I wonder time and time again

Why are kids suffering?

All of the tears 'cause being caught in the crossfire (Why?)

Somebody tell me why

As the joyous day comes along

The eldest feel there's something wrong

He's looking for Mom but she's not there

Kids are looking for reindeer in the air





Chorus:

She messed up again

Why?

My brother and my sister

They ain't got no toys

What am I supposed to do

When growing up for me wasn't joy?

It's gonna be a why Christmas

It's gonna be, it's gonna be a

A why Christmas





No one was there but Grandma and her friends

A time of heartache is setting in

There's nothing I can do

Just sit and feel pain run me through

I often wished they were never born

The thought of them not having no toys

Their little hearts were torn

I was young and I cried as well

I didn't have a job

But I prayed to the Lord that there'd be better days

Yes, he gave me a reason to live

He gave me a sign

But I still think to that day when





Chorus 



Brother and my

Brother and my

Brother and my

Sister

(repeats a lot)
