Santa's Wish (Teach The World)
One Christmas many years ago when I was just a boy
I walked along those snowy streets, the windows full of toys
My mom and dad both held my hands, a crowd was up ahead
They gathered 'round a man who sang, and this is what he said
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
Then all at once he disappeared within a flash of light
His tattered coat was left behind, his sleigh was taking flight
And I still hear that melody that echoed through the night
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
As a child I asked the man in red
"Hey Santa, what's your Christmas wish?"
And this is what he said
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
Sing it now 'oh
'oh
'oh
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
I walked along those snowy streets, the windows full of toys
My mom and dad both held my hands, a crowd was up ahead
They gathered 'round a man who sang, and this is what he said
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
Then all at once he disappeared within a flash of light
His tattered coat was left behind, his sleigh was taking flight
And I still hear that melody that echoed through the night
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
As a child I asked the man in red
"Hey Santa, what's your Christmas wish?"
And this is what he said
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
Sing it now 'oh
'oh
'oh
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
(I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony)
