Someday At Christmas
Jackson 5 (Holiday) Lyrics

Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
In the future, men will act maturely and responsibly instead of recklessly playing with dangerous weapons like children playing with toys.

Playin' with bombs like kids play with toys
Men's behavior with explosives is dangerous and careless, akin to children playing without awareness of potential harm.

One warm December our hearts will see
During the season of Christmas, we will experience a significant shift in our emotions and perspective.

A world where men are free
A future where men can experience true freedom in all aspects of their lives.

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
In the future, there will be no need for armed conflicts or wars to solve problems or conflicts.

When we have learned what Christmas is for
If we can understand the true meaning of the Christmas holiday, we can use it as inspiration to create a harmonious and peaceful world.

When we have found what life's really worth
If we can discover the real purpose of life, we can gain a greater appreciation for it and work toward creating a better world.

There'll be peace on Earth
The hope is that the world will experience a complete absence of conflict and aggression, resulting in universal peace.

Someday all our dreams will come to be
One day, all the things we hope and dream for will come to fruition.

Maybe not in time for you and me
It may take longer than our lifetimes for these changes to happen.

But someday at Christmas time
However, there is hope that during the holiday season of Christmas, we will see the beginnings of these changes.

Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
In the future, we will witness a new kind of world.

(Someday at Christmas)
Reiteration of the theme that one day, things will be better.

With no hungry children, no empty hand
A world where every child has access to food and provisions that meet their basic needs, no one will live in poverty.

One happy morning people will share
A time when people are happier and closer to one another, and where sharing in each other's happiness is common.

A world where people care
A world where people demonstrate love, compassion, and empathy for each other's wellbeing.

Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
In the future, no one will experience sadness, pain or grief.

Where all men are equal and no man have fears
A society where, regardless of background or status, everyone is treated equally and where there is no need to live in fear.

One shining moment, one prayer away
All it takes is one moment of true inspiration, a single prayer to begin the process of creating a better world.

From our world today
Acknowledging the current state of the world that we need to move away from to achieve this vision.

Someday at Christmas men would not have failed
In the future, men will not have failed to create a better world.

Hate will be gone and love will prevail
In a world free of hate, love will triumph and reign supreme.

Someday in a world that we can all start
A future where we can all work together to make the world a better place.

With hope in every heart
The importance of hope in sustaining our efforts to realize this vision.

Someday at Christmas... hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm
The song's refrain repeats the idea that someday at Christmas, the world will change for the better.

But someday at Christmas time
The hope that the spirit of the Christmas holiday will bring about the change that we seek.

Someday at Christmas time!
Reiterating the theme that Christmas season brings hope and optimism about the future.
