[Chorus – Opening] A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Prayers, rise into the sky so quietly War is over, if you want it The prayers still live within our hearts [Verse 1] The New York wind wraps the night so quietly A single light flickers in Dakota’s window Through my glasses, I see the dreams from that day Somewhere in the world, someone breathes them still [Pre-Chorus 1] For every sorrow, we join our hands Instead of fighting, let's place a gentle song [Verse 2] Children running, snow sparkling on their cheeks Adults rushing, caught in their busy days But I won’t forget a single, steadfast voice It can quietly light up the darkness of the world [Pre-Chorus 2] Instead of hate, we pile up our prayers Beneath any sky, our wishes never fade [Chorus – Repeat] A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Prayers, rise into the sky so quietly War is over, if you want it We’ll keep singing for the future [Bridge – Winter Light] The bells swaying in the snow Gently embrace the frozen night Even the prayers with no names Are carried softly to tomorrow [Final Chorus – Choir] A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Prayers, fill the night sky forever War is over, if you want it War is over now A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year Prayers, light up the streets so quietly War is over, if you want it War is over now ---------------------------------------------------------- ー日本語歌詞ー 【Chorus – Opening】 A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year 静かに空へ溶けてゆく 小さな祈り War is over, if you want it あなたの声が 今も胸の奥で灯ってる 【Verse 1】 ニューヨークの夜に ひとり息をひそめ ダコタに揺れる明かりを ただ見つめていた メガネ越しに見えた あの日の夢の続きは どこか遠い場所で 誰かを今もあたためる 【Pre-Chorus 1】 涙の分だけ 人は誰かに触れたくて 争う代わりに 寄り添う歌を置きたい 【Verse 2】 白い息を弾ませ 跳ねてゆく子どもたち 急ぎすぎる大人は 大事なものを忘れてく だけど覚えてるよ ひとつの声が教えてくれた 小さな勇気だけで 世界は変わりはじめると 【Pre-Chorus 2】 憎しみの積もる夜でも 祈りは途切れず 見上げた空に 消えない光がある 【Chorus – Repeat】 A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year 静かに空へ溶けてゆく 小さな祈り War is over, if you want it 未来のどこかで 誰かの涙を照らせますように 【Bridge – Winter Light】 雪に響くベルの音が 凍えた心に触れて 名前も知らない祈りまで そっと明日へ運んでく 【Final Chorus – Choir】 A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year 祈りよどうか 夜空を永遠にあたためて War is over, if you want it War is over now A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year あの日の願いが 街の灯りにまだ揺れてる War is over, if you want it War is over now
