We Need Christmas
Lyrics:
[English]
Lights that twinkle red and green
Charlie Brown on the TV screen
Hugs from friends and family
That's what we need right now
Buttons on a winter coat
Truck tires down a snowy road
That's the sound of coming home
That's what we need to right now
This world could use a little healing
Our hearts could surely use something to believe in
We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
The joy, the peace and the hope that love can bring
Oh, we need Christmas
...
Carols in the living room
Like Grandma always loves to do
Grandpa reads from the book of Luke
That's what it all about
Red Salvation Army can
Reaching out a helping hand
Looking after your fellow man
That's what it's all about
We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
The joy, the peace and the hope that love can bring
Oh, we need Christmas
We need Christmas
...
This world could use a little healing
Our hearts could surely use something to believe in
We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
The joy, the peace and the hope that love can bring
And the bells hear 'em ring
Let every angels sing
Oh, we need Christmas
...
We need Christmas
...
