all because of a baby boy

up and down the street tonight

there's a santa claus at every light

trees for sale on the corner lot

waiting for a home

everywhere across the land

gifts are wrapped with loving hands

around the world as children sleep

a star begins to glow

and somewhere

someone quietly explains

to a loved one what all this means

two thousands years ago

the sky was bright with the heavenly host

peace on earth good will towards men

has been hangin' in ever since

from that night and forevermore

every man whether rich or poor

will share the love

the hope

and joy

all because of a baby boy

when christmas day is finally here

and friends and family gather near

memories shared from seasons past

and a little child will ask

the someone

somewhere will quietly explain

to a loved one what all this means

two thousands years ago

the sky was bright with the heavenly host

peace on earth good will towards men

has been hangin' in ever since

from that night and forevermore

every man whether rich or poor

will share the love

the hope

and joy

all because of a baby boy
