Every year at Christmas. All I can see. Are pictures of the things I want. Around the tree. But this year's a little different. I'm not thinking of myself. So my prayer for this Christmas. Is for somebody else. (Chorus). So I pray. Joy To the World. Peace for every boy and girl. Hope when life is hard. Light when everything seems dark. God I know you're listening. And you can hear. The need of every broken heart. And all their tears. I don't have a lot to offer. Just this one simple prayer. That this Christmas everyone would know. Somebody cares. (Chorus). So I pray. Joy To the World. Peace for every boy and girl. Hope when life is hard. Light when everything seems dark. I pray that every hungry soul. Will be filled and will be warm. That not a single solitary child. Would suffer harm. And Lord we find their ending. As we take another view. My hope is that this Christmas prayer. Would somehow come true. . I pray. Humanity would rise. And join with me. And together we'll sing. Joy To the World (To all the world). Peace (Peace) for every boy and girl (for every boy and girl). (Talking bout hope) Hope when life is hard (when life is hard). Light when everything seems dark. I pray that (I pray) every hungry soul. Will be filled and will be warm. (Not a single child) That not a single solitary child. Would suffer harm. And Lord we find their ending. As we take another view. My hope is that this Christmas prayer. Would somehow come true. Joy To the World. Peace for every boy and girl
