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 |
