    Every year when I'm asked what I want for Christmas, I say "Peace on earth". I suppose this song is as close as I'll get...
    CD: "Takin' Care Of Christmas" - 2001   Label: Bullseye Records Of Canada
    Credits: Produced by Joel-Steven & Alan Kuehne

    Story Behind the Song
    This song took three consecutive Christmas seasons after the birth of my children to write this song (I didn't feel much holiday inspiration in the summer...) It was originally recorded as a demo for friend Bill Medley at his request. When he decided to do all Christmas covers instead, it was shelved until I came across Jaimie Vernon of Bullseye Records Of Canada. It was then included on the label's "Bullseye's Compact Christmas 2000" & 2001's "Takin' Care Of Christmas", the latter featuring Randy Bachman, Goddo, & Terry Draper of Klaatu (my 'heroes'). A special thanks to Bullseye President Jaimie Vernon for taking a chance on this 'yank' from 'south of the border'.

    Lyrics
    “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
    (IS PEACE ON EARTH)”
    words and music by Joel-Steven

    WHEN YOU FIRST SEE CHRISTMAS THROUGH CHILDREN’S EYES,
    YOU’LL REMEMBER THEIR INNOCENCE AND START TO REALIZE
    THERE’S A REASON FOR THE SEASON,
    LIKE A STAR SHINING BRIGHT
    ON A BABY IN A MANGER ON A COLD WINTER’S NIGHT.

    CHORUS:
    OOOOOHH-, GOD BLESS THE CHILD,
    HOW DO WE HAVE FAITH IN A WORLD THAT’S GONE WILD?
    OOOOOHH-, TOGETHER WE PRAY;
    PROTECT US, AND GUIDE US, AND HELP US TODAY,
    FOR NOW AS WE CELEBRATE OUR SAVIOR’S BIRTH,
    ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS PEACE ON EARTH.
    Verse #2:
    TODAY, THERE IS HUNGER, INJUSTICE, AND CRIME,
    BUT I HEAR THAT IT’S BEEN THAT WAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
    YOU THINK WE’D HAVE LEARNED AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS,
    HOW TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN FROM CRYING THEIR TEARS.

    CHORUS #2:
    OOOOOHH-, GOD BLESS THE CHILD,
    HOW DO WE HAVE FAITH IN A WORLD THAT’S GONE WILD?
    OOOOOHH-, TOGETHER WE PRAY;
    PROTECT US, AND GUIDE US, AND HELP US TODAY,
    AS THE DOGS OF WAR ARE MARKING THEIR TURF,
    ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS PEACE.....PLEASE,.....

    Bridge:
    WHY CAN’T WE SEE WE’RE ONE FAMILY.
    WHY CAN’T WE LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY.
    EACH WOMAN AND MAN TAKE YOUR NEIGHBOR’S HAND,
    AND LET PEACE AND JOY RING THROUGH EVERY LAND.

    Verse #3:
    WHEN I LOOK IN MY CHILDREN’S EYES I CAN SEE
    THE HOPES AND THE WISHES THAT ARE NOT YET TO BE.
    AND OF ALL THAT THEY WANT, THE ONE GIFT I MUST GIVE,
    IS THE EXAMPLE I SET BY THE WAY THAT I LIVE.

    CHORUS #3:
    OOOOOHH-, GOD BLESS THE CHILD,
    HOW DO WE HAVE FAITH IN A WORLD THAT’S GONE WILD?
    OOOOOHH-, TOGETHER WE PRAY;
    PROTECT US, AND GUIDE US, AND HELP US TODAY,
    LET’S SHOW OUR CHILDREN HOW MUCH THEY ARE WORTH......
    ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS PEACE,
    PEACE ON EARTH.
