1st Verse:
It’s a very special time of year
Family and friends holiday cheer
For those no longer with us
We shed a tear
A time to share
A time of feast
A time to care
And pray for peace
A time to give to those
Who have the least
Chorus:
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Peace be with us
Happy New Year
2nd Verse:
This is the time to start anew
Atheist Christian Muslim Jew
To reach within
And find the love inside of you
Discard the old seek out the new
Reject the false embrace the true
To look ahead decide
To bring out the best in you
Choruses:
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Peace be with us
Happy New Year
Akemashite
Omedetoo
Peace be with you
Happy New Year
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
Peace be with you
Happy New Year
