Someday at Christmas

Songs of peace and freedom and justice for all – ‘t’is always the season. Allison Crowe here gives voice to such a tune that filled the air first in 1967 with Stevie Wonder:

 

Peace on Earth, goodwill toward all.

 

Someday at Christmas

 

Composed by Ron Miller & Bryan Wells

As Performed by Allison Crowe

 

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.

 

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

all men are equal and no men have fears.

One shining moment, one prayer away

from our world today.

 

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 man will not fail,

hate will be gone and love will prevail.

Someday a new world 'we can start

with hope in every heart.

 

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.
