The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love
Still there when the innocence has gone
But we have each other we laugh and we cry
The cares of the world still carry on

Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day

I once met a holy man who showed me the way
The road to tranquility at last
The more he was listening, the more he would say
With the tales of the days of future passed

He said, "Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I try
To hold on to hope for a better life
With every day that goes by"

And if we dare to dream of paradise unseen
It might come true and if you stand by me
I swear with all my heart, I'll stand by you

Yes, I believe in a better world
A world where my sisters can be free
And I have a place in my brother's heart
For everybody to see

I dream of my destiny, my days in the sun
To live in the garden of our love
I search for some happiness, I search for my soul
I pray for some strength from God above

Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us, I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day, with every beautiful day
