All I Really Want is Peace on Earth

from Christmas with Lyte by Lytingale

lyrics

When they ask me what I wish for on this holy holiday,
I can only think of all the ways the world has lost its way.
And I hope that we will see the Light in every baby's birth
And expand our love to everyone.
All I really want is peace on earth.

Yesterday I saw an angel. She was teaching kids to read.
And another one gave up his coat for somebody in need.
Oh, it's all around the city and in ev'ry single town,
Lots of people helping people.
All they really want is peace on earth.

And if you search the whole world over, this is what you'll see:
People just want to take care of their family.
And when we realize our differences are really very small,
Ev'ry person is a part of us all.

Everybody has a purpose. Their place is guaranteed.
Doesn't matter what they look like, or what holy books they read.
Oh, we all belong together in one caring family.
We are here to love each other.
All we really want is peace on earth.
