Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fears.
And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong,
The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long.
And so happy Christmas for black and for white
For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.
And so this is Christmas and what have we done
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.
War is over if you want it, war is over now.
The song "Happy Christmas" is a classic holiday tune that is often played during the Christmas season.

It encourages individuals to take a moment to consider what they have accomplished in the past year and what they hope to achieve in the coming year.
The song then wishes the listener a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, and encourages them to approach the new year with hope and optimism. The song emphasizes that Christmas is a time for everyone, regardless of race or social status, and encourages individuals to come together and put aside their differences.
The final line of the song, "War is over if you want it, war is over now," encourages listeners to reflect on the devastation of war and strive for peace and unity. The song is a poignant reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of coming together as a global community.
