Tis the season. Ho, ho, ho. Jolly, molly. A bright shining star. Shoppers. Peace on earth. Perhaps the last phrase is the most important of all. Where there are wars, we all wish for peace. Where there is hunger, we wish there is enough food for all. Tis the season where most of us do something to address the burning issues that face mankind all over the world .
The song that more than most that epitomizes all the above, is the Christmas song made popular by Stevie Wonder.
Someday at Christmas.
Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all ours dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears
When all men are equal and none have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas, men will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at christmas time
