It's the story of a truce
for which I had asked
It's the story of a sun
for which I had hoped
It's the story of a love
I thought was alive
It's the story of a lovely day
when, as a small child
I wished happiness
for the whole planet
I wished, I hoped
that peace would reign
...on this Christmas Eve
but it just stayed the same
it just stayed the same
it just stayed the same
no, no, nothing changed
everything just stayed the same
no, no, nothing changed
everything just stayed the same
hey! hey!
hey! hey!
and yet, many people
sang with us
and yet, many people
got down on their knees
to pray, yes to pray
to pray, yes to pray
but on TV everyday
I saw guns and canons
...even on Christmas eve
I cried, yes I cried
I cried, yes I cried
who could explain to me?
no, no, nothing changed
everything just stayed the same
no, no, nothing changed
everything just stayed the same
hey! hey!
hey! hey!
I think about the child
surrounded by soldiers
I think about the child
who asks "Why"?
all the time, yes all the time
all the time, yes all the time
I think about all this
but I shouldn't
These things don't concern me
and yet... they do
and yet... I sing, I sing
no, no, nothing changed
everything just stayed the same
no, no, nothing changed
everything just stayed the same
hey! hey!
hey! hey!
