They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell, the Christmas tree smell
Eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
They told me a fairy story
But I believed in the Israelites
I believed in Father Christmas
I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Til I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
I saw him through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart, let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get, we deserve
