Made in 2016 and re-proposed every year, the “Christmas Balls” video featuring the children of the Pediatric Oncology Department of the National Cancer Institute tries to raise awareness and bring smiles to the lives of those going through a difficult time.
This project is the beating heart of “Youth Project”an initiative that aims to support and give a voice to teenagers being treated for cancer, transforming Christmas into a moment of joy and hope.
Let’s send it viral
The song was also created for a charitable purpose: support the Bianca Garavaglia Associationwhich has been alongside young cancer patients and their families for years. Available for download at iTunes, and by sharing the song, anyone can contribute to this cause, helping the association to continue its precious work.
The text
Christmas makes sense if you are with me
the party is ready and you know it’s there
that I don’t miss even a moment
if we’re here and it’s not a movie
nothing can divide us
It’s an opportunity to be reborn
something that will change you
and this desire to smile
that doesn’t pass me by, it’s a dream in my pocket
it’s the universe in a room
In spite of everything it’s Christmas Day
(a very Merry Christmas)
my heart is full of joy and wishes
(all I want for you)
is happiness
and the little things that make you laugh
all I want for Christmas is your smile!
Christmas together with those who will remain
next to me, in my soul
our star that illuminates us
you will be my answer, I will start again with more strength
In spite of everything it’s Christmas Day
(a very Merry Christmas)
my heart is full of joy and wishes
(all I want for you)
is happiness
and the little things that make you laugh
all I want for Christmas is your smile!
“The boy in room 13 thinks
That the holidays are near and his mother fill the pantry
And he reflects on the gift that is already in front of him
Closed as it is in the wishing box.
He would like the normality of every year, the custom
But this is a judge who condemns habit
The true norm is the form we give, no one sleeps from now on,
because the music starts.
Pass me the IV tube to make decorations,
You don’t need lights, your eyes are enough
who illuminated with hopes illuminate the rooms
and in the white blood cells they see snow flakes.
So the boy unwraps the tape of plasters and bandages
Otherwise, who will defend Christmas for us!
Inside the box is a note inviting you to visit your friends in the lounge
with affection and finally he says:
‘See you in pediatrics and share the magic’
The Institute of Christmas, special, signed”
In spite of everything it’s Christmas Day
(a very Merry Christmas)
my heart is full of joy and wishes
In spite of everything it’s Christmas Day
(a very merry Christmas)
my heart is full of joy and wishes
(all I want for you)
is happiness
and the little things that make you laugh
all I want is Christmas and Christmas is your smile!
