"All I Really Want"

I can’t believe I haven’t heard this before, but one of the workers who was at one of my sessions in Washington told me about this Stephen Curtis Chapman song.

Here are the lyrics.

4. All I really Want
I don't know if you remember me or not
I'm one of the kids they brought here from the home
I was the red haired boy in an old green flannel shirt
You may not have seen me, I was standing off alone

I didn't come and talk to you 'cause that's never worked before
And you'll probably never see this letter anyway
Just in case there's something you can do to help me out
I'll ask you one more time

All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
And shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for
But there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas
Is a family

I guess I should go and tell you now
If it's really true about that list you have
Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight
But I'm really trying hard not to be bad

Maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with
Maybe they could teach me how to get along
And from everything I've heard, sounds like the greatest gift on earth
Would be a mom

All I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
A shoulder to cry on if I lose
And shoulders to ride on if I win
There's so much I could ask for
But there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas
Is a family

All I want for Christmas
Is someone who'll be here
To sing me happy birthday
For the next 100 years

It's okay if they're not perfect
And even if they're a little broken
That's alright
'Cause so am I

I guess I should go
It's almost time for bed
Maybe next time I write you
I'll be at home

Cause all I really want for Christmas
Is someone to tuck me in
Tell me I'll never be alone
Someone whose love will never end
Of all that I could ask for
Well, there's just one thing I need
All I really want for Christmas
All I really want for Christmas
Is a family
