The Greatest Christmas Wish
The Greatest Christmas Wish
If I could have but one wish this season
I should chose wisely and with good reason
A wish to benfit all the world around
Something substanial and profound
A wish of some import, and wasted never
Reaching deep inside and bringing forth what's forever
I thought and thought, and then in flash it come to me
A wish to set the whole world free
I wish every soldier everywhere to stop
Feel the great and the good, then your weapons just drop
To your families go right now, they need you more
To all the fighting and hate, just close that door
To those who wish you to return
Give your courage a turn
"I say no! My family needs me here."
"These are the ones I hold dear."
I hope every soldier will say for "them" to hear
"I will not fight, get maimed, or die for you, is that clear."
"This is my life."
"Here with my children and my wife."
