lyrics

The sun hangs low
The wind's begun to blow
The nights are growing long
But until the storms subside
It's warm inside
The fire's going strong

For those we prize and love
We rise above
Our differences, big and small
For just this eve
We'll discuss no grief
But my wish is this for all:

CHORUS:
Just a reprieve, that's all I hope to receive
We just can't take any more
(Just one thing on my wishlist)
So I pray, if only just for one day
We take a break from the war
(On Christmas)

Night after night
It's fight after fight
In homes in rural little towns
And coastal cities, day after day
We may have to say
There's no more middle ground

The left and right wing
Forever fighting
Call it evil, and you miss the reason
That no one's trying
And hope is dying
But people, 'tis the season

CHORUS:
For a reprieve, that's all I hope to receive
We just can't take any more
(Just one thing on my wishlist)
So I pray, if only just for one day
We take a break from the war
(On Christmas)
