MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR THE WORLD
WHEN I WAS YOUNG JUST GROWIN UP
AND CHRISTMAS TIME WAS NEAR
THE PRESENTS THAT I DREAMED ABOUT
JUST MAGICALLY APPEARED
MY WISH FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE WORLD
I STILL BELIEVED IN SANTA CLAUS
AND REINDEERS CRUISED THE SKY
LITTLE ELVES MADE ALL THE TOYS
AND I NEVER QUESTIONED WHY
MY WISH FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE WORLD
THIS IS MY WISH FOR ALL THE WORLD
A MOM AND DAD FOR EVERY BOY AND GIRL
A PLACE TO LIVE WITH A NICE WARM BED
AND ALL THE HUNGRY WILL GET FED
THIS IS MY WISH FOR EVERYONE
A LOT OF PRESENTS AND A LOT OF LOVE
THIS IS MY WISH FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE WORLD
THE YEARS HAVE PASSED AND I’M ALL GROWN UP
I’M OLDER NOW AND WISE
AT CHRISTMAS TIME I STILL HAVE DREAMS
STILL HOPE TO BE SURPRISED
MY WISH FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE WORLD
I NEVER THINK FOR WHAT I WANT
AS I USED TO IN THE PAST
THE MEMORIES OF THE LOVE I GET
ARE THE ONLY GIFTS THAT LAST
MY WISH FOR CHRISTMAS FOR THE WORLD
(CHORUS)
I’M grateful for each smile I get
And thankful for each day
And at Christmas time I thank the Lord
And get down and I pray
This is my wish for Christmas for the world
