(Verse 1) Every year at Christmas All I can see Are pictures of the things I want Around the tree But this years a little different Im not thinking of myself So my prayer for this Christmas Is for somebody else (Chorus) So I pray Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl Hope when life is hard Light when everything seems dark (Verse 2) God I know youre listening And you can hear The need of every broken heart And all their tears I dont have a lot to offer Just this one simple prayer That this Christmas everyone would know Somebody cares (Chorus) I pray that every hungry soul Will be filled and will be warm That not a single solitary child Would suffer harm And Lord we find their ending As we take another view My hope is that this Christmas prayer Would somehow come true (Chorus) (Ending) Joy To the World Peace for every boy and girl
