Commoner's Carole
See the lights all shining on decorated streets,
the holly and the ivy, the wreaths of evergreen.
The children all happy and smiling
about gifts sitting under a tree.
Hear the bells ring Peace on earth.
Keeping the flame, candles burn.
in harmony with the words
Peace on earth.
On a snowy evening, your footsteps leaving tracks.
In your misty breathing the ghosts of Christmas past
come back to catch you believing
the magical spell that they cast.
Hear the bells ring Peace on earth...
When you sing the words of peace
believe in what you say
and that hope can give a common soul
cause to celebrate the day.
Sitting by the fire with a small circle of friends,
sharing in the laughter that warms each one of them.
You'll keep the memories after the holidays come to an end.
Hear the bells ring Peace on earth...
