Christmas is just around the corner as this Album is released but while we celebrate, others have little to look forward too.

lyrics

Christmas in Paradise, Peace to all mankind
Three hundred thousand children are soldiers worldwide
Lots of countries split by war,
Who knows what they’re fighting for?
Christmas time, festive cheer, but just not here

Christmas, Merry Christmas? How was your Christmas this year?

Christmas in Paradise, refuge to all mankind
Forty five million people homeless world wide
Living as a refugee,
No escape from poverty
Christmas time, festive cheer, but just not here

Christmas, Merry Christmas? How was your Christmas this year?

Christmas in Paradise, Health to all mankind
More than seven billion, population worldwide
Millions suffering from disease
Medication if you please
Christmas time, festive cheer, but just not here

Christmas, Merry Christmas? How was your Christmas this year?

Christmas in Paradise, Wealth to all mankind
Ten million dollar millionaires living worldwide
Massive fortunes built by greed
Don't care what the starving need
Christmas time, festive cheer, but just not here

Christmas, Merry Christmas? How was your Christmas this year?

Christmas in Paradise, food for all mankind
800 million people are starving worldwide
Three million children under five
Every year condemned to die
Christmas time, festive cheer, but just not here

Christmas in Paradise, fairness for all mankind
Hope for the millions who suffer worldwide
Keep striving for equality
Respect for human dignity
Christmas time, festive cheer, lets have it here

Christmas, Merry Christmas? Pray for a fairer Christmas next year!
