By Lytingale. By Lois J Henrickson (Lytingale). Arranged by Lois J Henrickson (Lytingale). Christmas,Folk,Holiday,Singer/Songwriter,Spiritual. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 3 pages. Lytingale Music #1029293. Published by Lytingale Music (A0.1449537).

A non-exclusive song for the winter holidays that expresses the giving spirit of the season without referencing any specific religion. (OK, there's a musical nod to Silent Night.) My challenge to myself was to write a spiritual holiday song without ever mentioning Christmas... to celebrate EVERY baby's birth and the season of giving.

The song is available for Solo voice, SSA choir with solos, SSA (no solos), and optional Violin or Flute part. Formats: with written piano part (simple - please embellish!) or Lead Sheet (melody, words, chord names - less pages to print!), lead sheet for optional Violin or Flute. Whew!

Lyrics:
All I Really Want is Peace on Earth
(c)2017 Lois J Henrickson (Lytingale)
 
When they ask me what I wish for
On this holy holiday,
I can only think of all the ways
The world has lost its way.

And I hope that we will see the Light
In every baby’s birth,
And expand our love to everyone.
All I really want is peace on earth, peace on earth.

Yesterday I saw an angel.
She was teaching kids to read.
And another one gave up his coat
For somebody in need.
Oh, it’s all around the city
And in every single town,
Lots of people helping people.
All they really want is peace on earth, peace on earth.

And if you search the whole world over,
This is what you’ll see:
People just want to take care of their family.

And when we realize our differences are
Really very small,
Every person is a part of us all.
 
Everybody has a purpose,
Their place is guaranteed.
Doesn’t matter what they look like,
Or what holy books they read.
Oh, we all belong together
In one caring family.
We are here to love each other.
All we really want is peace on earth,
Peace on earth,
Sweet peace on earth,
Peace.

TYPE JOHN FRIES IN THE SEARCH BAR TO SEE ALL I HAVE TO OFFER. Thanks, John. The song tells the story of a poor Southern cotton farm-family during the Great Depression. Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch. We all picked the cotton but we never got rich. Well, somebody told us Wall Street fell, but we was so poor that we couldn't tell. The song references President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.
