All I want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas

is some food to eat.

Oh what a treat

to have some meat.

 

All I want for Christmas

is clean water to drink,

stuff that doesn't stink,

that would be cool I think.

 

All I want for Christmas

is the bombs to stop,

no more to drop.

That would be the top.

 

All I want for Christmas

is for our food to grow,

the plants we sow

now that would be a show.

 

All I want for Christmas

is to be free to learn.

Not to be a germ

because I want to learn.

 

All I want for Christmas

is some medication.

and some dedication

from the United Nation.

 

All I want for Christmas

is to grow up strong.

Am I so wrong

wanting to belong.

 

All I want for Christmas

is some equal rights

and somewhere to sleep

through the coldest nights.

 

All I want for Christmas

is to earn a crust.

With employers

that we can really trust.

 

All I want for Christmas

is a chance at life

for a man and wife

not to live in strife.

 

All I want for Christmas

is oh so far away

and on this day

this is what I pray.
