Lights that twinkle red and green
Charlie Brown on the TV screen
Hugs from friends and family
That's what we need right now

Buttons on a winter coat
Truck tires down a snowy road
That's the sound of coming home
That's what we need to right now

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
The joy, the peace and the hope that love can bring
Oh, we need Christmas

Carols in the living room
Like Grandma always loves to do
Grandpa reads from the book of Luke
That's what it all about

Red Salvation Army can
Reaching out a helping hand
Looking after your fellow man
That's what we need right now

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
Oh, we need Christmas
Ooh

This world could use a little healing
And 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

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