In a dangerous environment, a single mother fights against tradition.  Protecting her son from the corrupt influences surrounding them both.  She tries to raise him as a good and honest person.  Year after year, many sacrifices have to be made,  but the white lies and tales she tells each Christmas,  cause the child to develop a warped perception of life.    Danger lurks in every place  A mother fights to protect her child  Tradition stipulates its way  It's easy for them to say  Influences all around  Hard to change, creatures of habit  Sacrifices must be made  A few white lies she must tell    The pressure lay on her shoulders  Decisions unfair  Desperately seeking comfort  Searching for strength not there    Have no fear  Unorthodox ways, unorthodox methods  Alone and afraid, different from others  All alone  She carries the strain, the future uncovers  Hide your tears    Years of hardship and of pain  Corruption lingers in all the dark corners  Her efforts are in vain  His perception of life has changed  Don't waste your time  He's lost, it's time to pray    Stupid to point a finger, she isn't to blame  Believing that life will bring him strength  The courage to find his way
