It isn't snowing but the world is put on ice
Shivering and sliding and slipping by in life
Better get our skates on,
Better wrap up nice and warm,
Got to learn ourselves a new way to survive.

Thinking of the problems that are past and yet to come
Got that crushing tingling feeling, feeling numb
Better switch our brains on
Better struggle through this storm
Got to keep on going strong and not give up.

It's a time for human kindness and there's no doubt
Loving, living, giving is what this season's about
Better put our masks on,
Better keep safe all who are born
Then even in this time of sadness happiness is still allowed.

And so I'm wishing one and all have festive cheer
Hope you each have many joys to come next year
Wherever you are, wish upon a star
And know that better times will soon appear.
