Happy Christmas (War is Over)
Written by John Lennon

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

And so this is Christmas        War is over
For weak and for strong         If you want it
For rich and for poor ones      War is over
The world is so wrong.

And so happy Christmas          War is over
For black and for white         If you want it
For yellow and red ones         War is over
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

And so this is Christmas        War is over
And what have we done?          If you want it
Another year over               War is over
And a new one just begun.

And so happy Christmas          War is over
We hope you have fun            If you want it
The near and the dear ones      War is over
The old and the young.

A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.

War is over
If you want it
War is over...
