McLachlan, Sarah - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) Lyrics






So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
A new one just begun (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas

McLachlan, Sarah Happy Xmas (War Is Over) Comments
  1. E.... L....

    I love this version!! Not really a Beatles fan There's only like two songs from John Lennon that I like admire and listen to besides Imagine and his original version of this spectacular song.
    I love Sarah McLachlan how she incorporated children of different nationality that do not look alike but yet could be the hope for a brighter peaceful world tomorrow.
    I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and I pray that everyone has a JOYOUS WONDERFUL, PEACEFUL Blessed New Year 2020 ✝️🙏

    I hate covers, especially of a great classic song like this. That said, I love this! she does a great job of it. She doesn't try to show off or make it about how great she is.

    Sarah seems like such a kind and pure person. I think that’s why I love this song and basically all her other music... You can hear her kind heart in all of it. Merry Christmas to all! 12/24/17!

    t.... ....

    Yes, from the interviews and things that I've seen, Sarah seems very down to earth and just plain nice.

    She seems like one of those prople that you can talk to for the first time and feel like you've known them for your whole life.

  29. L.... R....

    I;m a big Lennon fan, but I prefer this version to the original.  It works great with a country sound and no Yoko Ono.

  36. B.... R....

    This is the best cover by far. As a huge John Lennon fan I know he would approve.

    B.... R....

    Brett Rogers

    It’s good. I also like Céline Dion s version.
