Bring Him Home, Santa (Video and Lyrics)

December 5, 2008 by St. Nick  
Filed under Uncategorized

Updated for Christmas 2008: Because it’s that time of year, again, and we’re still fighting a war.

Original Post 12/21/07: This video was created by (YouTube) JimmyJohns009 for Christmas this year, and was sent to me by my friend, Sandie, in Melbourne. Scroll down for the lyrics. Tear alert.

 

Dear Santa, I need to change my Christmas list
There’s one big thing I missed
You see, my Daddy’s working
far away from here.

And you know, Santa,
I asked for a Barbie doll,
And brand new soccer ball,
But you know, I’d trade it all
For just one gift this year.

(Chorus)

Bring him home, Santa.
Bring him home to Mom and me.
Let us wake up Christmas morning
And find him standing by our tree.

You can pick him up on your way,
He could ride there in your sleigh
Don’t make him spend Christmas all alone,
Bring him home.

And Santa, here’s a picture that I drew
Of him in his dress blues.
Mamma says our country
needs him over there.

And you know, Santa,
This whole year I have been good
I was hoping that you would
Do all you could
To answer her prayer.

(Chorus)

Bring him home, Santa.
Bring him home to Mom and me.
Let us wake up Christmas morning
And find him standing by our tree.

You can pick him up on your way,
He could ride there in your sleigh
Don’t make him spend Christmas all alone,
Bring him home. (Repeats)

    I pray daily that all our troops, from this moment on, come home safely, with no more casulties. Also, that the Iraqians continue to want to be in alliance with us, rather than want to exterminate us because they regard us still (even those holdouts) as “evil infidels”. With them now having a president, I have hope. Thank you soldiers, and the powers that be who decided, at last, that we had to be at war with them in order to gain this goal, for your courage and devotion to the idea of the freedoms that we have in this country. May their people, one day, have that same kind of freedom, for their own sakes. May God Bless.

    This is a very touching video and song. The view through a child’s perspective is amazing, yet so simply put. I pray that all of our soldiers make is home soon, all in one piece,and reunited with all of their loved ones. Thank you to all of you that selflessly defend our freedoms. God bless you!
