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,
in someone's hands 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
Did you get all the things that you've been waiting for,
snowfall, the presents, choir singing at your door,
the season will be perfect,
like those picture postcard scenes,
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,
in someone's hands 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,
for the greatest gift of all,
of christmas day
How bout peace on earth,
it can't be bought or sold,
how bout peace this christmas,
in someone's hands 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,
in someone's hands 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
How bout peace on earth,
that's what christmas should be......
