Peace Is a Free Gift

One doesn't have to be a believer
to share the jolly Christmas spirit;
even unbelievers seem to wonder
how cheery and giving is the heart!

How cheery and giving is the heart
of this season that echoes with carols!
Spend a minute admiring the Yule art:
dazzling and twinkling lights like stars!

Dazzling and twinkling lights like stars
invite us to love and forget every grudge;
greet the stranger and share kind words:
we need a light from above to erase rage!
 
We need a light from above to erase rage,
but only love has the power of forgiveness,
and with that in mind, let's build a new age:
peace is a free gift that leads to happiness!
