Es Werde Licht

Every Christmas we see pictures
From the children of this world
Those who stand in the shadows because they are forgotten

First they touch our hearts
And then they go out of mind
And the rest of the year we are blind again

And we come to visit the
Whom we don't see for months
And we lend them a few hours of happiness

And then we have to move on quickly
Before that, there's a gift
And then we leave them in the dark

Let there be light
Let there be love
In all hearts worldwide

Let there be light
Let there be humanity
Not just at Christmas time
Not just at Christmas time

Christmas trees are getting bigger
The packages are more
Another dollhouse and a computer game

And the cupboards are getting fuller
And the souls remain empty
Because we give things but hardly any feeling

Let there be light
Let there be love
In all hearts worldwide

Let there be light
Let there be humanity
Not just at Christmas time
Not just at Christmas time

Let there be light

Let there be light
Let there be humanity
Not just at Christmas time
Not just at Christmas time
