SPIRIT OF THE TIME
Music & Lyrics by Heather Alexander

Heavy bundles within your arms,
Shopping windows of Yuletide charms-
Gloves and mittens, hats and scarves,
A coin for all mankind that starves-

CLAP YOUR HANDS TOGETHER, LET THE BIG BELLS CHIME,
FILL THE COLD WITH LAUGHTER, SING A VERSE IN RHYME-
IN THE SPIRIT OF THE TIME-

Wine and pudding and rack of lamb,
Dine from snitchings off a roasting pan-
With sniffling noses and frost-chilled face,
We'll warm our toeses by the fireplace-

Winter blows down your collar as you walk,
Crystal snows crush beneath your feet-
Joy and good cheer resounding in your talk,
"Happy New Year" to all you meet-

Of long cold days now we need not fear,
The Solstice is the shortest in the year-
Release your troubles, extend your hand,
Let peace and friendship ring through this land-
