Thread Name: The political songs of today?
Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS PEACE 16.12.15
My Christmas song from Dec 2015: not all political but gets more so as it goes on: just about all the horrible things that seem to happen around Christmas time. Deliberately simple (simplistic?) and sadly never likely to happen.
CHRISTMAS PEACE 16.12.15.
1. Christmas comes but once a year,
And 'tis said, it brings good cheer, but
Far too often, that's not so,
As my Christmas list will show.
CHORUS: Here I make my Christmas wish
Don't need cards or fancy gifts,
Just to be with family and friends,
I want world peace that never ends.
Peace on Earth at Christmas,
Christmas peace on Earth.
2. No tsunami, no earthquake,
Nor the devastation that these can make,
No more plane crashes, sinking boats,
No more pointless deaths on roads. CHORUS
3. No more poverty, beggars on street,
No need for food banks to let people eat,
No more posturing, no more lies,
Truthful politicians would be a surprise. CHORUS
4. No more ISIS, no more wars,
No more bombs to settle old scores,
No more refugees needing to flee
From the horror in their own country. CHORUS
