Cochren & Co.'s song 'Christmas (What the World Needs)' is a heartfelt reflection on the true meaning of Christmas. The lyrics express a longing for the simple joys of the season—family, laughter, and the warmth of togetherness—while emphasizing the deeper spiritual significance. The song recalls cherished memories, like a grandfather praying before reading Luke chapter 2, and highlights the hope, forgiveness, and peace that come from the Savior's birth. It gently reminds listeners that beyond the festivities, Christmas brings the message of heaven coming to earth, offering hope and reconciliation to a world in need.

I want to see the lights go up on main street
I wanna see the family that I hold dear
I want to hear the laughter of the children playing
It's cold outside but it's the warmest time of year
Let the church bells ring their melody
Let the choir bring a little harmony
'Cause peace on earth
Sounds good to me
Oh, Christmas is what the world needs
I want to light a candle and just sit in the silence
Let the calm of the moment fill the room
I want to remember my grandpa praying
Before he read us Luke chapter 2
Let the church bells ring their melody
Let the choir bring a little harmony
'Cause peace on earth
Sounds good to me
Oh, Christmas is what the world needs
We need the hope of the season
We need the hope of the Savior's birth
We need to know there is forgiveness
Because heaven has come down to earth
Let the church bells ring their melody
Let the choir bring a little harmony
'Cause peace on earth
Sounds good to me
Oh, Christmas is what the world needs
Oh, Christmas is what the world needs
Oh, Christmas is what the world needs
