Lyrics

Here we are just walking down a lonely street in London town
Snow is falling gently to the ground
The Cathedral bells are ringing
And the people there are singing
For peace and happiness around

As we walk on through these lonely streets of London
We see a world around us gone wrong
There's people in the doorways of this snow covered London
People who will never, never look you in the eyes
When the snow arrives they'll say
"Peace and joy to everyone"
But they never stop to think and pray

For the child who's dying on these lonely streets of London
For her this Christmas will not arrive
Why must there be lonely on these busy streets of London
Why can't we stop and look around us now
This should be a time when we can say
"We are all as one"
But we'll never get it right

Here we are just walking down a busy street in London town
See the world around us falling down
Can't you hear the sirens ringing
Drowning out the people singing
No peace or happiness around
As the world falls down
As the world falls down
