Why can’t there be peace at Christmas
Snow may not be falling, or the world feeling still,
A quiet calm, with unease, no peace or goodwill
The fire glows with a light, no hearts will be warm tonight
Uncertainty and fear prevails
This isn’t heaven its more like hell
Chorus
Why cant there be peace at Christmas,
Let kindness fill the air.
Let our hearts unite in harmony,
In a world we all can share.
Verse
Nations fighting nations, this is futility
Fuelled by religion, by hate and fear of liberty
Joy to the world seems a distant thing – Oh little town of Bethlehem they sing
Hark the Heralds angels sing but the bombs mean you can’t hear a thing
Intermedia
People sing their carols of peace on earth,
and celebrate the virgin birth
In the land where it all began
There is children’s blood in the sand.
The evil deeds of terrorist,
the lives taken and loved ones missed
Verse
The retaliation swift and strong, communities they decimate.
Making martyrs in the sand fuelled with revenge and hate
Who can heal the wounds, and build the hope of peace
Takes a person with love in their hearts and willingness to lead
Intermedia
People sing their carols of peace on earth,
and celebrate the virgin birth
In the land where it, all began
There is children’s blood in the sand.
Chorus
Why cant there be peace at Christmas,
Let kindness fill the air.
Let our hearts unite in harmony,
In a world we all can share
