War Is Over (Happy Xmas) was written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of a peace campaign in the late 60s and early 70s. It was released during the Vietnam War, in 1971, and serves as a call for peace and against the conflict. The song is remembered both for its powerful message and its catchy melody.
So this is Christmas And what have you done Another year over And a new one just begun and so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young
A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one Without any fear
And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The road is so long And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let’s stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one Without any fear
And so this is Christmas And what have we done Another year over A new one just begun And so happy Christmas We hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young
A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one Without any fear
