"Wonderworker," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:

Wonderworker, won’t you work a miracle for me?

It’s Christmas, and I put up my evergreen tree. 

Now, I’m hanging my list of wishes on its trunk.

Excuse me if I have a lot of holiday spunk. 

 

PRE-CHORUS:

For Christmas I would like love and not hate—

I’d like a world that has only that trait.

If you could please bring me friends who are true, 

Instead of false friends who always fall through. 

 

CHORUS:

No one can work a wonder like you.

Wonderworker, make my Christmas dreams anew!

No one can work a wonder like you.

Wonderworker, make my Christmas dreams anew!  

 

VERSE:

I’d like a little more sun and much less dark 

With flowers to enjoy on the bench at the park.

And when it’s not summer, then I must have snow.

Winter’s too cold when there’s no white aglow. 

 

PRE-CHORUS:

Then I’d like calm on the tumultuous days.

Wonderworker, you must have your ways

To work wonders that no eye has seen. 

I’ve left you cookies for your nighttime cuisine.

 

CHORUS:

No one can work a wonder like you.

Wonderworker, make my Christmas dreams anew!

No one can work a wonder like you.

Wonderworker, make my Christmas dreams anew!  

 

BRIDGE:

More than anything I would like a new song.

Singing is the only way to keep your heart strong. 

I’ll be listening for a melody to come to me. 

This is my honest, earnest prayer and plea.

 

CHORUS:

No one can work a wonder like you.

Wonderworker, make my Christmas dreams anew! 

No one can work a wonder like you.

Wonderworker, make my Christmas dreams anew!
