Have yourselves a kinder, gentler Christmas,
People on the street.
May you never lack for something good to eat.
May you find acceptance from the folk you meet.

Have yourselves a safe and merry Christmas.
All you battered wives.
May you sleep no longer fearing for your lives.
May this be a Christmas without guns and knives.

Have yourselves a family sort of Christmas
All you mixed up kids.
May you never feel your lives are on the skids.
May you feel as stable as the pyramids.

Let's make this a different kind of Christmas
Not just gifts and trees.
Let's click off commercials on our dumb TVs,
Have ourselves a simpler time, a time of peace.
