Windshields kissed with snow On this endless interstate Over the fields we go Laughing all the way We sing: "Love, love, love" It's glorious
Friends and family near No more judgments, no more fear All is calm, all is bright Everyone will hold this light And sing: "Love, love, love" It's glorious
Sleep in heavenly In heavenly Sleep in heavenly In heavenly Believe in heavenly In heavenly peace
I have heard the angels Sweetly singing o'er the plain And I've heard the mountains Echoing their sweet refrain They sing: "Love, love, love" "Love, love" It's glorious "Love, love, love" It's glorious "Love, love, love" It's glorious
Sleep in heavenly In heavenly Sleep in heavenly In heavenly Believe in heavenly In heavenly peace
As God id God As light is light Whose law is wrong? Whose might is right? Here we are on the edge The edge of change
I believe in peace My only wish I belive that we Can co-exist Let's go further now Than we've ever gone before
And ring the bells Ring the bells of change Ring the bells Every boy and every girl Ring the bells Ring the bells of peace All over the world
We've all been called To wake from sleep To feel our power To create the dream To step out from the dark Past our fathers' fear
Ring the bells Ring the bells of change Ring the bells Every boy and every girl Ring the bells Ring the bells of peace All over the world
Here we stand in unity Making one choice to be free Every truth blends into one As we believe it shall be done
Here we stand as soldiers now Turning our swords into plows There is not a nobler clime Achieving peace in our own time
I know peace begins with me With all I feel and with all I see And I know it's no easy task Removing our own fearful mask
But I have seen us rise and fall Stand on the moon, tear down the wall And I know we can do it all And do it well, so ring the bells
(Ring the bells) Ring the bells of change (Ring the bells) Every boy and every girl (Ring the bells) Ring the bells of peace All over the world All over the world
(Ring the bells) Ring the bells of change (Ring the bells) Every boy and every girl (Ring the bells) Ring the bells of peace All over the world (All over the world) All over the world
(All over the world) (All over the world) Ring the bells (All over the world) Ring the bells of peace (All over the world) All over the world Ring the bells, ring the bells (All over the world) Ring the bells, ring the bells (Ring the bells, ring the bells)

Well, I'm feeling mighty fine, yeah I've got good music on my radio Well, I'm feeling mighty fine Got some good music on my radio Well, I'm gonna kiss you, baby While you're standing underneath the mistletoe

Oh yeah, merry Christmas, baby You sure did treat me nice Oh yeah, merry Christmas, baby You sure did treat me nice Give me all this good lovin' for Christmas Now I'm living in paradise
Well, I picked out a tree And I tied it to the car There's a wreath up on our door Eight tiny reindeer in the yard
I drove under the downtown lights Red an' green and blue The silver neon snowflakes Only made me think of you
It's Christmas all around me You're in someone else's land So I'm sending out my only wish Hey Santa, tell the man
Hey mister, send my baby home This December I don't wanna be all alone Oh, Christmas in America, I need you in my arms Far away from harm, send my baby home
I hear someone singin' 'Jingle Bells' No wait that's 'Deck the halls' While the teenagers with candy canes Ramble through the malls
The girls are down at Ruby's Trying to find some Christmas cheer There's not much to do but drink too much When everyday is unclear
So here I am on Christmas eve This silent holy night And I reach up to the stars for you I pray that you're alright
Hey mister, send my baby home This December I don't wanna be all alone Oh, Christmas in America I need you in my arms Far away from harm, mister, send my baby home
What happened to the peace on Earth All that goodwill toward men? Oh come on all ye faithful It's time to think again
Hey mister, send my baby home This December I don't want to be all alone Oh, come on, come on, come on Hey mister, send my baby home This December I don't want to be all alone

The seasons are the contrast Heed a life and how it's done It's time to let go of all our past And let go of what's to come
Write down your excuses And turn them into dust And plant the seeds of change Water it with trust
And light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light Now about this time is ending And everyone is here We light a light A light this year 'Tis the season of change
What do we have, what do we have not? What do we need that isn't here? This mindless, numb, consuming Is driven by a subtle fear
It's time we stopped believing That there will not be enough I know they said it on the TV So turn it off, break the chains Step outside and feel the love
And light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light Now about this time is ending And everyone is here We light a light A light this year 'Tis the season of change
Ooh, change, we shall change We must change
Heaven is inside It's all around, not just above Choose only love Heaven is inside It's all around, not just above Choose only love
Choose only love Choose only love Choose only love Choose only love
And light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light We light a light Light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light 'Tis the season of change
What if we could create peace on earth? I wonder what that would look like I wonder if nature and heaven would sing Hellelujah
What if we all stopped believing the line That happines comes from a stork? What if we looked at the damage we've done And finally shouted no more?
Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time
What if we did create peace on Earth? How would we feel 'bout ourselves? If we know we were perfect and good and enough For all we desire is well
What if we all spreaded the news There's nothing to fear anymore? We are connected, one family of light Hallelujah
Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Oh, yeah
It's Christmas time
I think we can create peace on Earth I finally decide I might By healing our pain, intending our love In the world we create what we find What if we all took the time to be still?
Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time
Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time
Create peace on Earth Create peace on Earth Create peace on Earth Create peace on Earth
It's Christmas time It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la
There is a time In late December The sun stands still in winter For three days And three long nights Throughout time we've watched the sky And waited for the sun To come and save us Save us from the longest night
For years I have been doing things And singing songs That don't make any sense But if I scratch the surface Just a little bit This holiday paint is pretty thin
Look to the sky With hope and wonder There's a star in the east To guide us home Yeah, we are closer now Than we've ever been To peace on Earth And goodwill to men As we celebrate The longest night
O night divine O night, o night divine Night divine O night divine O... Night divine O...
