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
[Chorus]
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)
