Holiday & Celebrations War & Peace

Silent night, peaceful night,
No more guns, no more fights.
No more drugs for our daughters and sons,
Jobs, not poverty, for everyone.
Then we’ll sleep in peace, then we’ll sleep in peace.

Silent night, peaceful night,
Love the kids in our sight.
No more shooting or killing nearby,
No more children afraid that they’ll die.
Then we’ll sleep in peace, then we’ll sleep in peace.

Silent night, peaceful night,
Let’s teach kids that killing’s not right.
Don’t buy war toys or violent games.
Guns aren’t playthings, they kill and they maim.
Let’s not buy any war toys, then we can all sleep in peace.

Silent night, peaceful night,
Lots of food, that’s what’s right.
Warm bright houses and medical care,
Clothes, employment, and good child care.
Then we’ll sleep in peace, then we’ll sleep in peace.
