Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The satellite's tracking Santa, we text our Christmas list
And leave our mobile numbers to help out ol' Saint Nick
Sometimes we stop and wonder, has that old bubble burst?
Or will this Christmas morning be like the first?
[Verse 2]
But tonight we still thank Bethlehem and bless the Lord for love again
Bring peace on Earth, goodwill to men
It's the future not the past
[Verse 3]
Let's have a first night, star bright, Child of Light, so right
21st century Christmas
Magic morn, tree adorn, Child is born safe and warm
21st century Christmas
[Verse 4]
We'll microwave some popcorn, put on a DVD
Fax Tiny Tim a thank you for blessing you and me
These days we watch and wonder, has Christmas lost its touch?
Can a world beyond the money be worth that much?
[Verse 5]
And tonight as we thank Bethlehem and bless the Lord for love again
Saying peace on Earth, goodwill to men
The future is the past
[Verse 6]
We'll have a first night, star bright, Child of Light, so right
21st century Christmas
We got a magic morn, tree adorn, Child is born safe and warm
21st century Christmas, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
The satellite's tracking Santa, he's got our Christmas list
We left our mobile numbers to help out ole' Saint Nick
Sometimes we stop and wonder, has that old bubble burst?
Or will this Christmas morning be like the first?
[Verse 8]
But tonight as we thank Bethlehem and bless the Lord for love again
Bring peace on Earth, goodwill to men
The future is the past
[Verse 9]
Bring on a first night, star bright, Child of Light, so bright
21st century Christmas
We got a magic morn, tree adorn, Child is born safe and warm
21st century Christmas
[Verse 10]
Wait for snow, mistletoe, eyes aglow, ho, ho, ho
Special wish, writing list, hug and kiss, all of this
21st century Christmas
[Verse 11]
The satellite's tracking Santa, got him for you and me
I hope his flight is right on time, he's got my Christmas tree
The microwave's full of popcorn, put on a DVD
And pray for peace on Earth tonight, it's all we really need
[Verse 12]
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
It's all we really need
