Sitting 'round the fire's edge
And warming hearts with a winter's pledge
To find out how we've gotten here
And heal this world that's lost in fear
I've heard it sung in songs of old
But only now have I understood
If there's one thing I wish this year
It's peace for mankind, far and near
Something that I would die for
Though it's something I'll never hold
Something I'd really try for
In this barren, bone-chilling cold
The reckoning hour's upon us now
And all we've done will bloom and grow
And we will reap the seeds we sow
If love you've given, then love you'll know
Something that I would die for
Though it's something I'll never hold
Something I'd really try for
In this barren, bone-chilling cold
Hold the ones you love real close
And make each moment count the most
Oh, I wish you well, my friends
May peace be yours as this year ends
