Have we forgotten
With all the rushing around
With all the shops and the cars and the chaos in this town
Have we forgotten
We need some sorting out
Clear our minds we will find what the story is all about
Ooh, He was the perfect gift
Ooh, He came to bring us peace
Ooh, holy child, our King
Do we remember
The wonders of his love
Will our voices join with the courous up above
Do we remeber how on the silent night
There was a baby who came to recall us back to life
Ooh, He was the perfect gift
Ooh, He came to bring us peace
Ooh, holy child, our king
Fill our hearts with wonders, eternal winter into summer
Fill our loungs with laughter, peace and joy
Peace and you
Perfect gift
Bringing peace
Ooh, He was the perfect gift
He came to bring us peace
Holy child, our king
Holy child, our king
