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

You can get all the things

That you've been waiting for

Snow falling, presents

Choirs singing at your 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 sacrifice?

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?

Hope for you and me

How 'bout peace on Earth? (Peace on Earth)

How 'bout peace on Earth?

That's what Christmas should be

Merry Christmas
