I stay home and cry

Merry Merry Christmas

My only son just died

While everyone else is festive

I stay home and cry

The whole world comes together

To love those hurt and scared

Through illness, floods, and hurricanes

It’s good to know they care

But no one wants to notice

Our greatest shame of all

A generation of our children

Murdered with fentanyl

We only want to save ourselves

Not people who use drugs

Are those who struggle inwardly

Not worthy of our love?

Merry Merry Christmas

My only son just died

While everyone else is festive

I stay home and cry
