No Calvary in Calgary, no one suffers anymore. That’s far away in the USA, in Canada no-one’s poor.

My girlfriend’s mom calls me a liar, but my story’s true.
It really happened at Christmastime, and it could happen to you.

My mom gave what she was able, couldn’t give anything more. Our last mac-and-cheese was on the table, we heard a knock at the door.

No Calvary in Calgary ...

The Spirit of Christmas we'd lost... was found on the steps that day. Sometimes I wonder what it cost to bring that blessing our way.

Now I’ve been hungry and homeless; I couldn’t afford to eat. Then I remember that one kindness, and I don’t give in to defeat.

No Calvary in Calgary ...

I don’t claim to know where we’re going, don’t know what it’s all about. I heard in Canada it’s never snowin’... and nobody does without.
