Tonight we celebrate God's one and only son
But tonight there'll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill
And in the small towns, in the cities families gather as one
But across the seas two armies stare down at each other's guns
They will cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and goodwill
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only son
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Each believing in their cause enough to die or kill the other one
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
'Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
'Cause the night of love and sharing they look forward to has come
'Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
