Every year, people are saying
We’re only praying
For change that won’t come
 
Well, I do believe
The Lord is listening
All for our children
For their time has come
 
Give me an African Christmas
Peace and love, to heal our land
We need an African Christmas
We’ll spend together
Hand in hand
 
If the Son of God
Was with us this season
I often wonder
What He’d have to say
 
It seems like He came here
For all the wrong reasons
And the dreams that He died for
Were meant for today
 
Give me an African Christmas
Peace and love, to heal our land
We need an African Christmas
We’ll spend together
Hand in hand
 
Cause if we all believe
We will receive
The lights that will heal this nation
 
And I know we're not wrong
Love does belong
It's our only hope
Salvation
 
Helelele helelele helelele iye
Helelele helelele helelele iye
Siph'ukuthula noxolo
Sikhathele izinyembezi
 
Helelele helelele helelele iye
Helelele helelele helelele iye
Masihlanganeni
Kulesikhathi sibambane ngezandla
 
This is our home
This is our country
So many people
Living in fear
 
Please hear our prayer
And stop all the killing
Let this be the Christmas
Let this be the year
 
Give me an African Christmas
Peace and love, to heal our land
We need an African Christmas
We’ll spend together
Hand in hand
 
Spend together
Hand in hand
 
Ooh-ooh
Hand in hand
 
Ooh-ooh
Hand in hand
 
Ooh-ooh
Hand in hand
