| Every year at Christmas
|
| All I can see
|
| Are pictures of the things I want
|
| Around the tree
|
| But this year’s a little different
|
| I’m not thinking of myself
|
| So my prayer for this Christmas
|
| Is for somebody else
|
| So I pray
|
| Joy To the World
|
| Peace for every boy and girl
|
| Hope when life is hard
|
| Light when everything seems dark
|
| God I know you’re listening
|
| And you can hear
|
| The need of every broken heart
|
| And all their tears
|
| I don’t have a lot to offer
|
| Just this one simple prayer
|
| That this Christmas everyone would know
|
| Somebody cares
|
| So I pray
|
| Joy To the World
|
| Peace for every boy and girl
|
| Hope when life is hard
|
| Light when everything seems dark
|
| I pray that every hungry soul
|
| Will be filled and will be warm
|
| That not a single, solitary child
|
| Would suffer harm
|
| And war would find their ending
|
| As we take another view
|
| My hope is that this Christmas prayer
|
| Would somehow come true
|
| I pray
|
| Humanity would rise
|
| And join with me
|
| And together we’ll sing
|
| Joy To the World (To all the world)
|
| Peace (Peace) for every boy and girl (for every boy and girl)
|
| (Talking bout hope) Hope when life is hard (when life is hard)
|
| Light when everything seems dark
|
| I pray that (I pray) every hungry soul
|
| Will be filled and will be warm
|
| (Not a single child) That not a single, solitary child
|
| Would suffer harm
|
| And war would find their ending
|
| As we take another view (Can we take another view)
|
| My hope is that this Christmas prayer
|
| Would somehow come true
|
| Joy To the World
|
| Peace for every boy and girl |
