What Christmas Should Be

What wishes will you make

When the season is near

Will your dreams be the same as they were last year

Will you ask for a little

Will you ask for a lot

And when you make your list

Will there be something you forgot

How 'bout peace on Earth

It can't be bought or sold

How 'bout peace this Christmas

And someone's hand to hold

How 'bout love in our hearts

And hope for you and me

How 'bout peace on Earth

That's what Christmas should be

Will you get all the things

That you've been waiting for

Snow falling presents

Choirs singing at you door

And the season will be perfect

Like those picture postcards

But is that the answer?

Is that what Christmas really means?

How 'bout peace on Earth

It can't be bought or sold

How 'bout peace this Christmas

And someone's hand to hold

How 'bout love in our hearts

And hope for you and me

How 'bout peace on Earth

That's what Christmas should be

What would you sacrifise?

What would you give away?

If all the greatest gifts of all on Christmas Day

How 'bout peace on Earth

It can't be bought or sold

How 'bout peace this Christmas

And someone's hand to hold

How 'bout love in our hearts

And hope for you and me

How 'bout peace on Earth

How 'bout peace on Earth

It can't be bought or sold

How 'bout peace this Christmas

And someone's hand to hold

How 'bout love in our hearts

How 'bout peace on earth

How 'bout peace on earth

That's what Christmas should be

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas (repeat until fades away)
