Every year at Christmas, all I can see Are pictures of the things I want around the tree But this year's a little different I'm not thinking of myself So my prayer for this Christmas Is for somebody else So I pray Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl Hope when life is hard Light when everything seems dark God I know you're listening and you can hear The need of every broken heart and all their tears I don't have a lot to offer Just this one simple prayer That this Christmas everyone would know Somebody cares... So I pray Joy to the world Peace for every boy and girl Hope when life is hard Light when everything seems dark I pray that every hungry soul Will be fed and will be warm That not a single solitary child Would suffer harm And wars would find their ending As we take another view My hope is that this Christmas prayer Would somehow come true I pray Humanity would rise And join with me And together we'll sing Woah, woah Joy To the World To all the world Peace for every boy and girl Talking ‘bout hope when life is hard Light when everything seems dark I pray that every hungry soul Will be fed and will be warm That not a single solitary child Would suffer harm And Lord, we find their ending As we take another view So now my hope is that this Christmas prayer Would somehow come true Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl
