And now the carols have been sung
The presents passed from hand to hand, the wrappings all undone
The children play like children everywhere, they just want to live
But it's not what we have, it's what we give
Christmas time reminds us, another year has come and gone
And now we must carry on
This we know, all things are connected
And the stars that shine on me, are the stars that shine on you
Millions of stars, millions of stars, one earth
Some are rich, while some live in misery
And so we light the candles and raise the Christmas tree
The mountains sleep beneath the silent snow, the sun shines on the shore
The earth is with us still, a time of hope once more
We wish you all a merry Christmastide
And it's peace that we must find
This we know, all things are connected
And the stars that shine on me, are the stars that shine on you
Millions of stars, millions of stars, one earth
Let go of fear and lay down the gun
If for just this Christmas night, let the world know it is one
We all are different in so many ways, but we are the same
Children of the sun, keepers of the wind and rain
Someone has to be the first to say, "No more walls"
Or life on earth will fail
This we know, all things are connected
And the stars that shine on me, are the stars that shine on you
Millions of stars, millions of stars, one earth
