Lyrics: Alicia Keys – Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
A new one begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For every someone
Let’s stop all the fight
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
So this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one begun
So happy Christmas
We hope you had fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
can it be over?
(If you want it) you know I really want it
(War is over now) now
and I’m putting down the gun
(If you want it) come on, baby
(War is over now) will you believe?
don’t you believe?
(If you want it) can we try and love each other more?
(War is over)
(If you want it) I wanna solve that
If you want it
If you want it
