Album: Tommy (Motion Picture)

Christmas

[MRS. WALKER]

Did you ever see the faces

Of the children, they get so excited.

Waking up on Christmas morning

Hours before the winter sun's ignited.

They believe in dreams and all they mean,

Including Heaven's generosity.

Peeping 'round the door to see what

Parcels are for free in curiosity.

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.

He doesn't know who Jesus was,

Or what praying is.

[CHORUS]

How can he be saved

From the eternal grave?

[FRANK]

Tommy, can you hear me?

Tommy, can you hear me?

[MRS. WALKER]

Tommy, can you hear me?

Tommy, can you hear me?

Tommy, can you hear me?

Can you?

[FRANK]

Tommy, can you hear me?

[MRS. WALKER]

Can you hear me?

[CHORUS]

How can he be saved?

[TOMMY]

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

[BOTH]

Tommy, can you hear me?

Tommy, can you hear me?

[CHORUS]

How can he be saved?

[FRANK]

Surrounded by his friends,

He sits so silently and

Unaware of anything.

Playing poxy pinball, picks his nose,

He smiles, he cries,

He pokes his tongue at everything.

[MRS. WALKER]

I believe in love,

But how can men who've never seen light

Be enlightened?

Only if he's cured

Will his spirit's future level

Ever heighten.

[FRANK]

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.

[MRS. WALKER]

He doesn't know who Jesus was,

Or what praying is.

[CHORUS]

How can he be saved

From the eternal grave?
