So much more than presents coming on a sleigh
Beautiful and rare, a hope is in the air
Serene just like a prayer, believing that it's never ending
When you wake you'll feel like things are right and new
You'll be calm and sense a peace come over you
Every trouble will be far away
Finding time to pause and help your fellow men
See what you can do and do all that you can
Every trouble will be far away
It happens, it happens
It happens, Christmas Day
