It's Christmas Time (feat. The Qualities) - Sun Ra

A girl named Mary dreamed of being in love Gathering water by a lonely road An angel came and whispered very low "You are the one that our God has chose" "To have the Savior as it was told To many prophets so long ago" And then he placed his hand upon her there And she knew then, the Savior she would bear At Christmas time Oh, we call it Christmas time Oh, we call it Christmas time When Christ our Lord, was born He rendered her a name that none would share Except when faithfully kneeling in prayer And she furrowed and said the name of Christ And knew the dream would happen in life At Christmas time Oh, we call it Christmas time Oh, you know it's Christmas time When Christ our Lord, was born To Joseph, she exclaimed in truth that night Of how the angel came with all his light And soon they went and traveled to the place Where one bright star would show where his head layed When all men came from near and afar To honor glory to the Son of God And in the manger, quietly he lay Wise men and shepherds knelt by him to pray It's Christmas time Oh, Christmas time Oh, I said it's Christmas time When Christ our Lord, was born Oh, it's Christmas time Yes, I said it's Christmas time Oh, I know it's Christmas time When Christ our Lord, was born Oh, it's Christmas time

Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time Couldn't go to bed that night Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway Under the lit up Christmas tree, with my crazy ass family Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" (I got it) Wish I was a kid at Christmas again (alright) Now, fill up the gas in the SUV Spent way too much time tryna pick out our tree The ceiling ain't as tall as we thought, I see Gotta cut a couple inches off the top to proceed And now we stringing the lights up Five hours later, we stringing the lights up Listenin' to Bing Crosby by the fire Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Mariah Turn off that Michael Bublé Turn on that one movie about the kid who Licked the telephone pole on the Blu-ray Red Ryder BB-Gun, stayin' up all night Jimmy Stewart, It's A Wonderful Life, now am I right? The collar's puffy, the beard is long The belly's tubby, but the reindeer are strong It's Santa Claus It's Christmas time! Oh, I wish it was '99, when I was a kid at Christmas time Couldn't go to bed that night Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway Under the lit up Christmas tree, with my crazy ass family Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" Wish I was a kid at Christmas again Now, I wrap presents like a kid wearing mittens Blindfolded, with a pair of left-handed scissors Janky, but the gift inside? Ridiculous Better than whatever it is you had on your wishlist Dig in then whip up the Bisquick Go outside, and throw 'round the pigskin I'm a dad now, but still feel like a big kid Best time of year, can I get an "amen"?
