Santa's List

Come rest you merry 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 Hope flies down 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, oh 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
