Christmas will really be Christmas
When folks are happy everywhere
Christmas will really be Christmas
When there's laughter for everyone to share

When people can live with each other
When peace on Earth has come to stay
I said, Christmas will really be Christmas
With the whole world in a better way

When hearts are filled with joy
Instead of worry and fear
That's when the words, "Merry Christmas"
Will be so much more sincere

So let's all keep hoping and praying
The time will soon be coming when
Christmas will really be Christmas
