Vocal     Instrumental
This song is available on Hap Palmer's Holiday Songs & Rhythms.

Although there are many fine songs that present the religious and festive aspects of Christmas, I felt the need for a song that stressed the ideas of peace, brotherhood and love in a way that children of all faiths could relate to.

It’s a time to think of love
A time for us to get along
What a world we’d have if
Christmas lasted all year long,
It’s a time for brotherhood
A time to sing a joyful song
What a world we’d have if
Christmas lasted all year long,
Ring the bells loud and clear
so our message all can hear
Everyone on this earth has
their own special worth.

It’s a time to stop the fighting
To understand when we are wrong
What a world we’d have if
Christmas lasted all year long,
It’s a time to work together
To know that everyone belongs
What a world we’d have if
Christmas lasted all year long,
Ring the bells loud and clear
so our message all can hear
Everyone on this earth has
their own special worth

It’s a time for brotherhood
A time to sing a joyful song
What a world we’d have if
Christmas lasted all year long
