Spare a thought for the lonely

Living on their own.

Spare a thought for the elderly,

Sitting all alone.

Those who are in hospital

Who cannot help their plight.

Please spare a thought for those in need

As your Christmas cards you write.

Spare a thought for the hungry

And the sick across the sea.

For those in need of medicine

Or die from HIV.

Water hard to come by,

From river or from well.

Please spare a thought for those in need

As you eat your Christmas meal.

Spare a thought as you gather,

For the festive Christmas spree.

With family all around you,

Presents wrapped beneath the tree.

Food upon the table and

Wine within your glass.

Please spare a thought for those in need

As the collection box, you pass.
