I’m dreaming of a holy night
Dreaming of a silent night
The kind of night I’ve wanted so long
But I’m waking to reality
In another war torn century
And it’s drowning out the angel song
Though I know it’s way out of sight
I’m longing for a future that’s bright
Dreaming of a holy night

I’m dreaming of a holy night
And I’m praying
Lord we need some heaven here on earth
Come and melt our bleak mid-winter hearts
O come and heal what’s torn apart
Let’s never stop believing in
A holy night

I’m believing in a holy scene
When all across our TV screens
Headlines say ‘No bad news’
And we hear all heaven and nature sing
As earth at last receives her King
And joy fills every avenue
I feel it though it’s still out of sight
Imagining a world that’s put right
Dreaming of a holy night

A holy night
Give me a holy night
Hurry that holy night
A holy night

I want joy to the world
I want peace on earth
And goodwill
As the silent stars go by
Let it be upon a midnight clear –
And let a guiding star appear
Let the music of the angel song
Ring loud and clear and strong
Until that holy night

I’m dreaming of a holy night
And I’m praying
Lord we need some heaven here on earth
A holy night
Hurry that holy night
