This is my wish for everybody in the world   To have peace and happiness   And all the love that they deserve      To every mother, every father   Every baby child [Incomprehensible]   This is my Christmas prayer      To all those who are hungry   May they never miss a meal   All the broken hearted may they find a way to heal      And all the homeless and the needy   That they might have a coat to wear   This is my Christmas prayer      From my little house upon Valance Street   I'm sending out these hopes to high above   That this whole earth just might someday be   A little better place for the human race      From Lafayette to London   From Buenos Aires to Beijing   Let's be kind to one another   And let that yuletide spirit ring      Spread the message and the meaning   Of the season everywhere   This is my Christmas prayer      From my little house upon Valance Street   I'm sending out these hopes to high above   That this whole earth just might someday be   A little better place for the human race      This is my wish, it may be a lot to ask   But I'm hoping that a miracle   Will finally come to pass      And that all that I am saying   Are just whispers in the air   This is my Christmas, this is my Christmas   This is my Christmas prayer
