Lirik lagu "Someday At Christmas" sebagai berikut:

Someday at Christmas men won't be boys

Playing with bombs like kids play with toys

One warm December our hearts will see

A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas there'll be no wars

When we have learned what Christmas is for

When we have found what life's really worth

There'll be peace on earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be

Someday in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas we'll see a land

With no hungry children, no empty hand

One happy morning people will share

Our world where people care

Whoa, someday at Christmas there'll be no tears

When all men are equal and no man has fears

One shinning moment one prayer away

From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be

Someday in a world where men are free

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmas man will not fail

Hate will be gone and love will prevail

Someday a new world that we can start

With hope in every heart, yeah

(Someday all our dreams will come to be) whoa, yeah

(Someday in a world where men are free)

Maybe not in time for you and me

But someday at Christmastime

Someday at Christmastime.
