La (la-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra)
La-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra
Whenever I see girls and boys
Selling lanterns on the streets
I remember the Child
In the manger as He sleeps
Wherever there are people
Giving gifts, exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas
Is truly in their hearts
Let's light our Christmas trees
For a bright tomorrow
Where nations are at peace
And all are one in God
Let's sing, "Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday" (Happy holiday)
This season may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus
Let Him be the one to guide us
As another new year starts (another new year starts)
And may the spirit of Christmas
Be always in our hearts (oh)
In every prayer and every song
The community unites
Celebrating the birth
Of our Savior, Jesus Christ
Let love, like that starlight
On that first Christmas morn
Lead us back to the manger
Where Christ the Child was born
So, come let us rejoice
Come and sing a Christmas carol
With one big joyful voice
Proclaim the name (proclaim the name) of the Lord (Lord)
Let's sing, "Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday" (Happy holiday)
This season may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus
Let Him be the one to guide us
As another new year starts (another new year starts)
And may the spirit of Christmas
Be always in our hearts (oh)
Let's sing, "Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday" (Happy holiday)
This season may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus
Let Him be the one to guide us
As another new year starts (another new year starts)
And may the spirit of Christmas
Be always in our hearts (our hearts)
Oh-oh, ooh
