So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
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
The rich and the poor ones
The war 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
The new one just begun
And so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
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
And what have we done
Another year over
The new one just begun

Melissa Etheridge is a multi-grammy-award-winning rock singer/songwriter who has been called “the female Bruce Springsteen.” She rose to popularity in 1993 with her album Yes I Am just after coming out to the public as gay. Her most popular songs include “Come to My Window,” “Bring Me Some Water,” and “I’m the Only One,” all of which are about overwhelming passion, longing and jealousy.
