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
