Christmas War

(album: We Wish You A Merry Christmas - 1975)

Once again it is Christmas with the stars in the sky
Once again it is silent, a holy night
When the churchbells are ringing, all the people start singing
Once again everyone, but do you know why?

Oho, Jesus, oh, Jesus
For whom were you born?
Is this what you wish?

Oho, Jesus, oh, Jesus
For whom did you sigh?
Did you cry when you know that tomorrow
The war will start again?

In the night of December there ain't no time of fear
Again it is peace everywhere
In the night of December, it's a time to surrender
But do you remember what we said last year?

Oho, Jesus, oh, Jesus
For whom were you born?
Is this what you wish?

Oho, Jesus, oh, Jesus
For whom did you sigh?
Did you cry when you know that tomorrow
The war will start again?
