[English]

Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys

Playing with bombs like kids play with toys

One warm December, our hearts will see

A world where men are free, hmm

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no wars

When we have learned what Christmas is for

When we have found what life's really worth

There'll be peace on Earth

Someday, all our dreams will come to be

Someday, in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land

With no hungry children, no empty hand

One happy morning, people will share

Our world where people care

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears

When all men are equal and no men have fears

One shining moment, one prayer away

From our world today, oh-oh

Someday, all our dreams will come to be

Someday, in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime, mmm

Someday at Christmas, man will not fail

Hate will be gone, and love will prevail

Someday, a new world we can start

With hope in every heart, yeah, yeah

Someday, all our dreams will come to be

Someday, in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and for me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmastime

Yeah
