Zombies, The - Christmas For The Free Lyrics






This is the day of Jesus
This is the day of peace
Joy to the world at Christmas
Jesus, this is Christmas for the free

Blunt is the pain of hunger
Cold is the wind of grief
Motherless child
Has a hard time for comfort
Jesus, this is Christmas for the free

Maybe you’d decide
If you’d just stop talking all the while
About the honour and the style
Of your solution
Look around you
Open your heart
And let your love grow

I want to be loved
And I can’t be crying all the while
I need someone to smile
For just the feeling

Joy to the world at Christmas
Love to the folk who can
Meanwhile the promises
And bodies are broken, Jesus,
Bloody in this winter wonderland

Where is the love of Jesus?
Where is the love of peace?
Where are the people
Who promised us comfort?
Why are they quarrelling their needs?
When this is the day of Jesus
When this is the day of peace
Joy to the world at Christmas time
Jesus, this is Christmas for the free

Zombies, The Christmas For The Free Comments
  1. S.... I....

    This is a Rod Argent/Chris White song, originally on Argent's "In Deep" album from 1973. (Russ Ballard is on vocals & guitar here.)

  2. c.... ....

    Great to hear Colin Blunstone's vocal on Rod Argent's Christmas classic.

  3. O.... ....

    This is one of the best christmas songs I've heard. We need to make it popular, get rid of other bad rock ballads!

  4. G.... L....

    Sheer atmospheric, nostalgic class - it will live forever in the ether..

  5. V.... A....

    Absolutely beautiful! Why was this never a chart hit?

  6. M.... S....

    The Zombies even rock Christmas! God save The Zombies!!

  7. D.... I....

    What a nice touch.

  8. J.... ....

    thank you.

  9. A.... L....

    Complicated melody here which is very clever. I know it's a remake of an Argent original and it's grown on me a bit but I'm still not quite sure I understand these lyrics but then I suppose it's poetry.

  10. S.... P....

    Jesus came to set up His kingdom in the hearts of people just like you and me. He said "If you love me, keep my commandments; love one another as I have loved YOU!"   John 14:15. Love is not merely an emotion; it's an action word! Let's love one another folks!
    God bless the Zombies... 

  11. d.... ....

    Love this video. So easy to forget what Christmas is really about...

  12. A.... ....

    One of the best rock & roll singers ever!
