I hope that lovers will continue to adorn
I hope that children always will be born
I hope that rulers will not lose their wits
So there will be a future for the kids
That right will lastly triumph over wrong
I hope that is enough for every Christmas song

I hope the winter is succeeded by a spring
I hope the summer breeze will always softly sing
I hope the autumn leaves keep falling down
In all the color grades from red to brown
I hope the seasons will continue all along
I hope that is enough for every Christmas song

I hope that rulers will not lose their wits
They won’t destroy the future of the kids
The summer breeze will always softly sing
That hope is more than just a thing
That common sense is always going strong
I hope that is enough for every Christmas song
