[Chorus: BJ & Niko McKnight]
It's Christmas
Give love 'til there's peace
'Til there's more than enough
It's Christmas
Give love, it's all about love, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1: BJ & Niko McKnight]
Today, I saw a man on the street
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He was cold, he was tired
And there were no shoes on his feet, yeah
He said, "Can you spare a dime?
It won't take you much time
'Til I can get back up on my feet
I look to heaven and pray, day after day
I'm just trying to get something to eat"

[Chorus: BJ & Niko McKnight]
It's Christmas
Give love 'til there's peace
'Til there's more than enough
It's Christmas
Give love, it's all about love, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2: Brian McKnight]
And what about the woman
Who walks the night alone
With no place to sleep, yeah yeah
And what about the child
With the broken heart
Through teary eyes that can't really see

[Pre-Chorus: Brian McKnight]
All they need is a hand
Someone who understands
To listen to the cry that they make
Instead of walking on by
Take a look into their eyes
And help somebody find their way

[Chorus: Brian McKnight]
It's Christmas
Give love 'til there's peace
'Til there's more than enough
It's Christmas
Give love, it's all about love, yeah yeah yeah

[Bridge: Brian McKnight]
Just open your heart
'Cause there's someone out there who's needing you now
A little love
Is something that can't be replaced
Put a smile on each face
Somehow, right now

On this holiday
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna put there weight upon my shoulders
For God so loved the world
That He gave his only Son
Not just for me
Not just for you
For everyone, hey hey hey
Give love, it's all about love

[Chorus]
It's Christmas
Give love 'til there's peace ('Til there's peace)
'Til there's more than enough
('Til there's more than enough)
It's Christmas
Give love, it's all about love, yeah yeah yeah
It's Christmas
Give love 'til there's peace
'Til there's more than enough
It's Christmas
Give love, it's all about love, yeah yeah yeah
