Lyrics

If a bell could ring, and make the whole world sing
I wish you'd understand, this happiness is at hand
If a carol could rhyme, and make the darkness shine
Let's celebrate with a chime
And let the whole world unite at Christmas time
Now looka here
I can see the point of having a real swinging joint
With plenty of happy faces feelin' the air
Can we learn to love, so we don't have to worry?
No hate, all good for all sisters and brothers
If a bell could ring and make the whole world sing
Let's unite the whole world at Christmas time
I can see the point of having a real swinging joint
With plenty of happy faces feelin' the air
But look, can we learn to love, so we don't have to worry?
No hate, all good for all sisters and brothers
If a bell could ring and make the whole world sing
Let's unite the whole wide world at Christmas time
If a bell could ring, let the whole wide world sing
If a bell could ring, ring on
