One little sleigh bell rings
One little child's voice sings
Ocean to ocean there's an emotion
That the season brings
Flowing around the world
To every boy and girl
Now is the season filled with joy and love
Boy on the city street
Girl on the desert sand
Sister and brother loving each other
All across the land
This is the time of year
Differences disappear
Spreading goodwill and joy just like the dove

And I'm singing this song
For all the children
To wish for peace on earth and love
The whole year through
'Cause the season belongs
To all the children of the world
Singin' this Christmas song
Reach out and pass it on
Sing it to all the children of the world

Let all the sleigh bells ring
Hear all the children sing
Voices arising all harmonizing
It's a joyful thing
Watching the world grow small
Touching them one and all
This is the season filled with joy and love

And I'm singing this song
For all the children
To wish for peace on earth and love
The whole year through
'Cause the season belongs
To all the children of the world
Singin' this Christmas song
Reach out and pass it on
Sing it to all the children of the world
