The first noel the angels did say
was to tell us,
“Remember that peace is the way.”
So, upon this Christmas Day,
let us vow to end war
Be a nation of peace
and we’ll fight no more!
Noel, noel – it means good news
Peace on the earth
is the news we must choose
It’s our taxes that support
funding wars round the world
It’s our own politicians
we have to implore
Stop the bombing, stop the drones,
stop the killing and pain
Stop the bloodshed and horror,
and financial drain
Noel, noel – it means good news
Peace on the earth
is the news we must choose
Christmas spirit is a thing
that your money can’t buy
For the spirit of Christmas
is peace, love and joy
Let our hearts be open wide,
let us welcome the birth
of the spirit of peace:
Let it will cover the earth!
Noel, noel – it means good news
Peace on the earth
is the news we must choose
