Someday at Christmas
Men won’t be boys
Playing with bombs
Like kids play with toys
One December our hearts will see
A world where men are free.

Someday at Christmas
There’ll be no war
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 Christmas time.

Someday at Christmas
We’ll see a land
With no hungry children
No empty hands
One happy morning
People will share
A 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 own world today.

Someday all our dreams
Will come to be
Someday a new world
Where men are free
Maybe not in time
For you and me
But someday at Christmas time.

Someday at Christmas
Men will not have failed
Hate will be gone
And love will prevail
Someday in a world
That we can start
With hope in every heart.

Someday at Christmas
Hmmm-hmmm hmmm
Hmmm-hmmm hmmm
Hmmm-hmmm hmmm
Hmmm-hmmm hmmm
Hmmm-hmmm hmmm
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at christmas time.
