It's a sad christmas song, and possibly a country song too, but here's what I know:
1.) It's about a kid buying shoes for his mom b/c 'daddy says she doesn't have long and I want her to look beautiful when she meets jesus tonight" or something like that. Can anyone help?

Thank you all very much! I heard it once at the naz, the again at our school's talent show and I really wanted to download it for my mom ( she like that stuff...more country than the sad stuff but eh. it's still a good song)

Lyrics "Christmas Shoes"
it was almost christmas time
there I stood in another line
tryin to buy that last gift or two
not really in the christmas mood
standing right in front of me
was a little boy waiting anxiously
pacing around like little boys do
and in his hand he held
a pair of shoes
and his clothes were worn and old
he was dirty from head to toe
and when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my momma please
its christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
could you hurry sir?
daddy says there's not much time
you see she's been sick for quite a while
and I know these shoes will make her smile
and I want her to look beautiful
if momma meets jesus tonight
they counted pennies for what seemed like years
and the cashier said son there's not enough here
he searched his pockets franticly
and he turned and he looked at me
and he said momma made christmas good at our house
most years she just did without
tell me sir
what am I gonna do?
some how I gotta buy her these christmas shoes
so I laid the money down
I just had to help him out
and i'll never forget
the look on his face
when he said momma's gonna look so great
sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my momma please
it's christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
could you hurry sir?
daddy says there's not much time
you see she's been sick for quite a while
and I know these shoes will make her smile
and I want her to look beautiful
if momma meets jesus tonight
I knew i caught a glimpse of heaven's love as he thanked me and ran out
I know that god has sent that little boy to remind me
what christmas is all about
sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my momma please
it's christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
could you hurry sir?
daddy says there's not much time
you see she's been sick for quite a while
and I know these shoes will make her smile
and I want her to look beautiful
if momma meets jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful
if momma meets jesus tonight

The Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
Repeat Chorus

Underoath - Emergency Broadcast :: The End is Here. I think there is only 3 lines in the song, at the very end. It's beautiful. BQ: Brand New - The Archer's Bows Are Broken BQ2: Saves the Day's "Stay What You Are". BQ3: It was pretty good.
