Big World Abide

Santa’s small world
Not just a white lie
'Cause we went to bed
So safe inside
How hard to say goodnight
Big world abide
Telling our lies of black and white
Safe Inside
God’s got a list
He’s checkin' it twice
Heaven’s the gift
For those who are nice
But still hard to say goodnight
Big world abide
Telling our lies of black and white
Safe Inside
Not innocent fairy tales
Red is the sum of this black and white
Dealin' in good and evil
These believers they terrorize
You might hope our lies evolve
It seems, hardly at all
From the big world we’ll ever hide
Not abide … say goodnight
They said it was just a little white lie
We were told before goodnight
These lies of black and white
Stories for kids to feel safe inside
These lies of black and white
To which we’ll hold and for which we’ll die
