Christmas Wish

Lyrics

[Verse]
What I want for Christmas
Is for someone who looks like me
To play the smartest character
On my favorite show on the TV
And Santa Claus, please think of my daughter
Do the greatest thing you can do
Please bring her a brown skin doctor doll
So she can see a doctor to look like her too

[Chorus]
I know this is not regular
But we need it, so I'm asking you
I don't need nothing fancy
Just a fighting chance if you were to ask me

[Verse]
What I want for Christmas
Is a big shiny pot of understanding
So I don't have to act just like they do
So they can understand me
Please give them a heart to feel
And vision to see with their eyes
So they can see my experience, oh my
Instead of saying that they're color blind

[Chorus]
I know this is not regular
But we need it, so I'm asking you
No, I don't need nothing fancy
Just a fighting chance if you were to ask me

I know this is not regular
But we need it, so I'm asking you
No, I don't need nothing fancy
Just a fighting chance if you were to ask me

What I want for Christmas
What I want for Christmas (I want it, I want)

What I want for Christmas (That's what I want, yeah)
What I want for Christmas (Oh, to my daughter)

What I want for Christmas (Oh what I want)
What I want for Christmas (Oh, let's do it)

What I want for Christmas (Oh yeah)
What I want for Christmas (Just do it for my daughter)

What I want for Christmas (Oh yeah)
What I want for Christmas (She can be a doctor, she's got to see it in herself, oh yeah)

What I want for Christmas (Oh yeah)
What I want for Christmas (And don't be color blind)

What I want for Christmas (I need you to see me for who I am)
What I want for Christmas (Instead of who you want me to be)

What I want for Christmas (Oh, I don't think that's asking too much but)
What I want for Christmas
