Christmas Cheer (Everything's Going to Be Alright) - Strawbs

It was on the stroke of midnight

On the final Christmas Eve

People all around were saying

«What do you believe?»

Streets were laid with burnished gold

Statues made of chrome

Upspoke the wicked messenger

«You're welcome to my home»

Everything’s going to be alright

Everything’s going to be alright

Then tempers started flaring

As the heat began to rise

Fields of corn and rapeseed

Turned to dust before their eyes

People started blaming

The changing weather map

The chrome began to tarnish

The gold was sold for scrap

Everything’s going to be alright

Everything’s going to be alright

Then just before the end of time

The sun began to dim

People of the world

Began to sing a common hymn

The Muslim kissed the Hindu

The Hindu kissed the Jew

The Jew kissed all the Buddhists

And the Christians joined the queue

Everything’s going to be alright

Everything’s going to be alright
