Lights that twinkle red and green
Charlie Brown on the TV screen
Hugs from friends and family
That's what we need right now
Zippin' up a winter coat
Truck tires on a snowy road
That's the sound of coming home
That's what we need right now

This world could use a little healing
Our hearts could sure use something to believe in

We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
The joy, the peace, and the hope that love can bring
'Cause we need Christmas

Singing carols in the living room
That's Grandma's favorite thing to do
And Grandpa reads Luke chapter two
That's what it all about
It's a red Salvation Army can
It's a reaching out a helping hand
And looking after our fellow man
That's what we need right now
This world could use a little healing
Our hearts could sure use something to believe in

We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
The joy, the peace, and the hope that love can bring
'Cause we need Christmas

This world could use a little healing
Our hearts could surely use something to believe in

We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
We need Christmas
Now more than ever to bring us together
We need Christmas
Come on December help us remember
The joy, the peace, and the hope that love can bring
Hear the bells, let them ring
And let all the angels sing
'Cause we need Christmas
