[Verse 1] So this is Christmas And lights fill the streets Every promise repeated Every ending just out of reach So this is Christmas On screens and in song They say it’s almost over But it’s been going on [Chorus] War is over They say tonight If you want it If you close your eyes War is over They sing along If you want it But it’s never gone [Verse 2] So this is Christmas The malls glow with cheer Discounted hope At the end of the year So this is Christmas We toast to a start While the same old hands Still deal the cards [Chorus] War is over They say tonight If you want it If you don’t look twice War is over So goes the song If you want it But it’s never gone [Bridge – short, Lennon-style] Words sound easy Peace sounds right We’ve sung this before Every silent night [Final Chorus – slightly brighter] War is over They sing tonight If you want it Under Christmas lights War is over Say it slow Merry Christmas I still hope so [Outro] So this is Christmas Here we go
