Santa's Wish (Teach The World)

One Christmas many years ago when
I was just a boy
I walked along those snowy streets
The windows full of toys
My mom and dad both held my hands
A crowd was up ahead
They gathered 'round a man who sang
And this is what he said

I'd like to teach the world
To sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my
Arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for
Once all standing hand-in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

Then all at once
He disappeared within a flash of light
His tattered coat was left behind
His sleigh was taking flight and still
I hear that melody that
Echoed through the night

I'd like to teach the world
To sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my
Arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for
Once all standing hand-in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

Sing it now, ooh
As a child, I asked the man in red
"Hey Santa, what's your Christmas wish?"
And this is what he said

I'd like to teach the world
To sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my
Arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for
Once all standing hand-in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
I'd like to teach the world
To sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my
Arms and keep it company
I'd like to see the world for
Once all standing hand-in hand
(standing hand-in hand)
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

(I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony) then we hear, now
(I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony) ooh
(I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
(I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
(I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
(I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony)
