Christmas Wishes

If I had three Christmas wishes
My first wish would be
For an end to hunger and poverty.

If I had three Christmas wishes
My second would be for
An end to violence, hatred and war.

If I had three Christmas wishes
My third wish would be
That we take proper care of the land and the sea.
