Some day at Christmas

By Stevie Wonder (1967)

"Someday At Christmas"


"Someday at Christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care

Someday at Christmas there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime "



Will it EVER happen ?
Will there be lasting peace on earth ?
Will people put the welfare and safety of others above their own desire for more & more non-essential stuff ?
Will starvation end ?
Will morons stop fighting over whose (non-existant) god is better than another (non-existant) god ?
How long will it take for mankind to evolve past greed, hate, prejudice, and jealousy ?

100 years ? 500 ? 1,000 ? 10,000 ? 100,000 ? 1 Million ?
Will humans pollute and destroy the planet before it happens ?

When will our species learn ?
