When Children Rule the World
Hams and yams and cookies and candy
Chimes of joy and candles aglow
Hymns and carols, choirs are forming
Everywhere that you go
Pere Noël, Pere Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
Nobody cries or tells any lies
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight!
When the children rule the world
Doves and kings and shepherds and wisemen
Came together, followed the star
They all gathered down in the manger
They came from so very far
Midnight is clear, the spirits are here
Angels that guard each boy and girl
No hunger or thirst, the last will be first
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight!
When the children rule the world
All the greatest wishes are granted
Let us sing, let innocence reign
All the prayers are finally answered
Blessed and free of all pain
Towers of fire rise ever higher
Magical flags will be unfurled
The power of song, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight!
When the children rule the world
Pere Noël, Pere Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight!
When the children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight!
When the children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight!
When the children rule the world....
