Spread the Love

Say a prayer for peace on Earth
Spread the love to one and all

All my life, I've waited all my life
Longing for love to rule
Hoping for small miracles

On this day, one day of all the days
Think of the lonely ones
The hungry and homeless ones

Only you can change all the things you do
You're part of the human zoo
Lucky you, lucky you
It's time to assess and review

I feel blessed
So full of thankfulness
Brimming with joyfulness
Goodwill and cheer, not a tear

Christmastime should be a happy time
Should be a hopeful time
Without any fear, no more fear

Say a prayer for peace on Earth
Spread the love to one and all, one and all, oh

Here come the reindeer, the sleigh and old Santa
We'll have some fun, it's a family time
Board games and card games and laughter and banter
Elf is so good, It's A Wonderful Life

Last minute shopping for toys in their stockings
Hoping for bargains and Christmas list-ticking
Frost in the mornings, the weather is freezing
Do you get your fake trees out or buy your real trees in?

There's bright lights and baubles and tinsel that glitters
Angels and snowflakes and dec's new and old
Presents and wrappings, a new pair of slippers
Colours of silver, blue, red, green and gold
Red, green and gold

Dinner is turkey with thick, lumpy gravy
Pigs in their blankets and pulling our crackers
Feeling all fed up and happy and lazy
With dad getting hammered and mum looking knackered

There's mince pies and chocolates and sweeties and candy
Dates, nuts and cakes, Christmas pudding with brandy
Snowballs with cherries on small cocktail sticks
And there's always one kiddie who eats 'til they're sick

Say a prayer (say a prayer for the world)
For peace on Earth (for the peace of the world)
Spread the love to one and all

Say a prayer (say a prayer for the world)
For peace on Earth (for the peace of the world)
Spread the love to one and all, one and all, oh

Say a prayer for peace on Earth
Spread the love to one and all, one and all

Say a prayer (say a prayer)
For peace on Earth (for peace on Earth)
Spread the love (spread the love)
To one and all, one and all (to one and all)

Say a prayer (on this day)
For peace on Earth (one day of all the days)
Spread the love (you know I'm hoping)
To one and all, one and all (for small miracles)

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
(Christmastime should be a happy time)
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
(Should be a hopeful time)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-aah, Ave Maria
(Spread the love, spread the love)
One and all, one and all
