Graham Parker
New Year’s Revolution
I hear the choirs and those old sweet songs
It’s Christmas time
It feels so heavenly to sing along
It feels so fine
But there’s trouble in this old world today
We’re gonna have to do much more than sing and pray
We’re gonna have to build a bridge to every soul
Join us together now, and make us whole
And when Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
We’ll sing together, but our work won’t be done
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
Make it forever a New Year’s revolution, hallelujah
I hear the angels are so merciful, so why aren’t we?
There are so many who are suffering while we, we’re praying
Let’s give a present, the biggest one we can
Make this a happy time for every man
Let’s stretch our arms around this entire world
And give a ray of hope to every boy and girl
And when Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
We’ll sing together, but our work won’t be done
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
Make it forever a New Year’s revolution, hallelujah
Let’s give a present, the biggest one we can
’Cause there is trouble in this old world today
We’re gonna have to do much more than sing and pray
We’re gonna have to build a bridge to every soul
Join us together now, and make us whole
And when Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
We’ll sing together, but our work won’t be done
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
Make it forever a New Year’s revolution
Make it forever a New Year’s revolution
Make it forever a New Year’s revolution, hallelujah
