Lyrics
HOW MANY CHRISTMASES
I heard and loved the stories as a child
I've sung the carols
"Peace on earth" and "mercy mild"
And when I deck my Christmas tree with light
I always stop to wonder
What ... took place that Holy night
How many Christmases will there be
Till we learn to live as one
How many Christmases will we need
Before a new world has begun
When "peace on earth" is truly real
and not just words we've sung
I see a world in trouble, every day
Can we live together, will we find a way
And when I deck my Christmas tree with light
I always stop to wonder
What took place that Holy night
How many Christmases will there be
Till we learn to live as one
How many Christmases will we need
Before a new world has begun
When "peace on earth" is truly real
and not just words we've sung
How many Christmases will there be
Till we learn to live as one
How many Christmases will we need
Before a new world has begun
When "peace on earth" is truly real
and not just words we've sung
How many Christmases?
