Alone in the crowd

Jingle bells from salvation army rose up the air,
happy people chattered by the road,
X mas tree lit in front of Rockefeller,
I walked along the fifth avenue
alone in the crowd.

Organ music playing loud in the church,
children dressed as angels roaming around,
people praying with renewed hopes,
I stood there in the church
alone in the crowd.

Christmas treats getting distributed,
candies, cookies and cakes,
chicken, ham and duck,
I sat near the table in the rectory
alone in the crowd.

Memories flooding inside me,
happy mask fading away,
could this be a bad dream?
How I wish I didn't want to be
alone in the crowd.
