W:3. They sold me a dream of Christmas,   They sold me a silent night
W:And they told me a fairy story,   'Till I believed in the Israelite
W:And I believed in father Christmas,   And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
W:'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn,   And I saw him and through his disguise
W:3. I wish you a hopeful Christmas,   I wish you a brave new year
W:All anguish, pain and sadness,   Leave your heart and let your road be clear
W:They said there'll be snow at Christmas,   They said there'll be peace on earth
W:Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell,   The Christmas we get we deserve
