[00:00:00] Secular Song in Celebration of the 25th of December - Dan Bull

[00:00:02] Written by：Dan Bull

[00:00:11] December the 25th is here

[00:00:17] 0003% of a year

[00:00:22] December the 25th is here

[00:00:27] So we should shine a light on those who might just disappear

[00:00:34] There's so much hype for the 25th of December

[00:00:37] Piles of cards to write lists of gifts to remember

[00:00:40] That we're quick to forget a midst the tinsel and splendour

[00:00:42] That in the end we're in it together

[00:00:44] So I've picked up a pen and written a letter

[00:00:47] But it isn't to Santa

[00:00:48] Though it is a wish list of things I think we should remember

[00:00:51] Of thinkers inventors figures and mentors

[00:00:53] And different events linked to the 25th of December listen

[00:02:29] The founder of the American red cross Clara Barton

[00:02:33] So I beg your pardon for any omission

[00:02:35] Whether you're a secularist or whether you're christian

[00:02:38] Whatever religion whatever your differences

[00:02:41] We're distant relatives so let us mend the division

[00:02:44] Within gender we're more than just men and just women

[00:02:47] We may be different races but we're genetically kin and

[00:02:50] We may be different ages but we still live

[00:02:52] In the same seconds and minutes

[00:02:53] No one's setting the limits
