You can hear the children laughing
Pressing noses on the window
Looking back on all the good times
All the good days I remember
And we felt our spirit rising
As we snuggle by the fire
And the choir singing carols
In the snow
So I'll write this Christmas song
In the hopes you'll sing along
Bring back the joy (bring back the joy)
Bring back the love (bring back the love)
If we just give peace a chance
And the feeling feels the air
This is my wish
That's a Christmas prayer
There was still a certain magic
And our hearts were filled with laughter
We would gather around the piano
Harmonising to the music (sha-la-la-la-la)
It's so easy to remember
When the world was calm and peaceful
How I wish that we can have it
Once again
So I'll write this Christmas song
In the hopes you'll sing along
Bring back the joy (bring back the joy)
Bring back the love (bring back the love)
If we just give peace a chance
And the spirit feels the air
This is my wish
And that's a Christmas prayer
Bring me back to Christmas time gone by
We can all join hands
Make a circle around the world
We can do it if we try
So I'll write this Christmas song
In the hopes you'll sing along
Bring back the joy (bring back the joy)
Bring back the love (bring back the love)
If we just give peace a chance
And the spirit feels the air
This is my wish
And that's a Christmas prayer
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-lo
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-lo
