I’m dreaming of a qui-et Christmas
In Bethlehem, that holy land,
With the conflict stopping
And no bombs dropping
And no more lines drawn in the sand …

I’m dreaming of a just New Year
For Israel and Palestine,
Where no rockets glisten
And leaders listen
And there is hope for humankind ..

I’m dreaming of a sweet season
When senseless wars forever cease;
May our faith and good will increase,
And may all … our … years
Be blessed with peace.
