We Need Christmas

Lights that twinkle red and green

Charlie Brown on the TV screen

Hugs from friends and family

That's what we need right now

Buttons on a winter coat

Truck tires down a snowy road

That's the sound of coming home

That's what we need to right now

This world could use a little healing

Our hearts could surely use something to believe in


We need Christmas

Now more than ever to bring us together

We need Christmas

Come on December help us remember

The joy, the peace and the hope that love can bring

Oh, we need Christmas


Carols in the living room

Like Grandma always loves to do

Grandpa reads from the book of Luke

That's what it all about

Red Salvation Army can

Reaching out a helping hand

Looking after your fellow man

That's what it's all about


This world could use a little healing

Our hearts could surely use something to believe in


We need Christmas

Now more than ever to bring us together

We need Christmas

Come on December help us remember

We need Christmas

Now more than ever to bring us together

We need Christmas

Come on December help us remember


The joy, the peace and the hope that love can bring

And the bells hear 'em ring

Let every angels sing

Oh, we need Christmas
