Over deze songtekst:
Het lied is gebaseerd op het gedicht 'Christmas Bells' van de Amerikaanse dichter Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hij schreef het gedicht in 1863.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And wild and sweet their songs repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men And the bells are ringing - peace on earth And like a choir they're singing - peace on earth In my heart I hear them - peace on earth Peace on earth could win the men And in despair I bowed my head "There is no peace on earth," I said For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good-will to men What those bells are ringing - peace on earth And like a choir they're singing - peace on earth And everybody hear them - peace on earth Peace on earth could win the men Then ring the bells more loud and deep: God is not dead, nor doth He sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good-will to men And ringing singing on its way The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good-will to men And those bells are ringing - peace on earth Like a choir they're singing - peace on earth In my heart I hear them - peace on earth Peace on earth could win the men
