[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free, ooh

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

[Verse 4: Michael Jackson]
Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care, whoa

[Verse 5: Michael Jackson]
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears
When all men are equal and none have fears
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today, whoa

[Verse 6: Jermaine Jackson]
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where people are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

[Verse 7: Jermaine Jackson]
Someday at Christmas, man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart, whoa-oh

[Outro: Jermaine Jackson & Michael Jackson]
Someday at Christmas, hmm, hmm, hmm
Someday at Christmas, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
