A Change at Christmas

Oh, if I could stop time
It would be a frozen moment just around Christmas
When all of mankind reveals its truest potential
And there is sympathy for the suffering
And there is sympathy for those who are suffering

And the world embraces peace and love and mercy
Instead of power and fear and as sure as I'm standing here
I swear it really does appear that a change comes over us
Yes, some kind of change comes over us

And it's glimpsed, it's glimpsed it for one shining moment
And this change, well, feels like a change that's real
But then it passes along with the season
And then we, we just go back to the way we were
Yeah, we go back to the way we were
