Everyone put your guns away
For the holidays
And celebrate with peace
A lot of the year has gone
It didn't take very long
We'll try and right all our wrongs
And sing all our favorite songs
But in between all our joy
Men who are little boys
Are playing with violent toys
And killing off all our joy
I still believe
In a better world
For you and me
Everyone put your guns away
For the holidays
And celebrate with peace
I'd give all my gifts away
For some peace today
That's all I really need
The calendar starts and ends
We see all of our best friends
And try to just comprehend
The places that we have been
But all of these angry men
Who have such a violent yen
They can't ever make amends
We don't know when it will end
I still believe
In a better world
For you and me
Everyone put your guns away
For the holidays
And celebrate with peace
I'd give all my gifts away
For some peace today
That's all I really need
Won't you celebrate with peace?
Won't you celebrate with peace?
