The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love

Still there when the innocence has gone

But we have each other we laugh and we cry

The cares of the world still carry on



Yes I believe in a better world

And like the rest of us I pray

For peace on this earth and a better life

With every beautiful day



I once met a holy man who showed me the way

The road to tranquility at last

The more he was listening, the more he would say

With the tales of the days of future passed



He said "Yes I believe in a better world

And like the rest of us I try

To hold on to hope for a better life

With every day that goes by"



And if we dare to dream of Paradise unseen

It might come true

And if you stand by me

I swear with all my heart 

I'll stand by you



Yes, I believe in a better world

A world where my sisters can be free

And I have a place in my brother's heart 

For everybody to see



I dream of my destiny, my days in the sun

To live in the garden of our love

I search for some happiness

I search for my soul

I pray for some strength from God above



Yes, I believe in a better world

And like the rest of us, I pray

For peace on this earth and a better life

With every beautiful day

With every beautiful day.
