Lyrics

This Christmas (Peace Across The World)
Frank Blades

[Verse 1]
Winter drapes the town in diamond white,
Stars shine brighter on this winter night.
But far away the bombs are falling,
As the dogs of war are snarling,
Fathers, mothers clutch their children tight.

[Prechorus 1]
I hope someone is listening to my prayers.

[Chorus]
This Christmas, let peace fall like snow,
Gentle on the scars we seldom show,
Let our love be louder than the guns,
Let our love outshine a thousand suns,
This Christmas, spread peace across the world.

[Verse 2]
Softly sings the distant chapel choir,
As the Yule log smoulders on the fire,
But even as they lift their voices,
Other people don’t have choices
Cower as the warplanes cross the skies.

[Prechorus 2]
I hope someone is listening to their prayers.

[Chorus]
This Christmas, let peace fall like snow,
Gentle on the scars we seldom show,
Let our love be louder than the guns,
Let our love outshine a thousand suns,
This Christmas, spread peace across the world.

[Bridge]
This Christmas…
Let there be peace…
On Earth.
This Christmas…
Let there be peace…
On Earth.
Oh-oh-oh, this Christmas…
Let there be peace!

[Chorus]
This Christmas, let peace fall like snow,
Gentle on the scars we seldom show,
Let our love be louder than the guns,
Let our love outshine a thousand suns,
This Christmas, spread peace across the world.
This Christmas, spread peace across the world.
This Christmas, spread peace across the world.
