Tonight Is Christmas

The factories are shut down
The shopping malls are all closed
The busy streets are empty
Except for the falling snow

And in the small towns and the cities
Families gather as one
'Cause the night of love and sharing
They've looked forward to has come

Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight, there's hope for peace on Earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas, and the world's in harmony

But across the sea, two armies
Stare down at each other's guns
Each believing in their cause enough
To die or kill the other one

But tonight, there'll be no shooting
Not a drop of blood will spill
They'll cease their fire this silent night
In the name of peace and goodwill

Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on Earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas, and the world's in harmony
