Santa's List

Come rest you weary gentlemen

let nothing you dismay

lay down your swords and fight no more

for the sake of Christmas Day

A saviour came down to this earth

to show us everyone

how to live in harmony

together under the sun

Beyond the dark horizon

Lies a far more bountiful land

Void of all starvation

For every woman and man.

so reach out from the wilderness

and pray to heaven above

a future lies in wait for us

a world united in love

We don't need a merry Christmas

we don't need a Happy New Year

the only wish on Santa's list

is that one day there will be

peace on this earth

Through the valleys

over the hills

church bells echo their sound

whispers travelling through the trees

over the snow covered ground

spread the message far and wide

so every one can hear

home fires glow on angel wings

and banishes every tear

We don't need a merry Christmas

we don't need a Happy New Year

the only wish on Santa's list

is that one day there will be

peace on this earth

Grant us .. one wish

no more .. pain or sorrow

hear us .. help us

build a new tommorrow

So reach out from the wilderness

and pray to heaven above

a future lies in wait for us

a world united in love

We don't need a merry Christmas

we don't need a Happy New Year

the only wish on Santa's list

is that one day there will be

No more tears or pain at Christmas

no more children living in fear

the only wish on Santa's list

is that one day there will be

one day there will be

one day there will be

peace on this earth

Grant us .. our wish this Christmas
