Scrooge’s Spirit

Yesterday I was living in the past
asking for more, never did I have enough
my burden got heavier and, when asked,
my spirit never knew a thing called love

Today, the present time is on my side
I am at work, there’s too much to be done
my office, dark and grey, is where I hide
my spirit will not care for anyone

Chains and spooky visions haunt my dreams
my spirit feels as if it’s run aground
but this time they’re no humbug so it seems
I’m going to have to turn my life around

Tomorrow’s future brightens up my day
my chains are gone, I laugh and sing out loud
a carol bugs my spirit, come what may:
a merry Christmas this will be, no doubt!
