When angels sing and peace fills the air,
And Chanukah kindles light we share,
When Kwanzaa’s seven days bring hope anew,
And prophets’ voices widen our view,
The greatest gift we can bring
Is joy that makes the spirit sing.
Let laughter rise across the land,
Let love step forward, hand in hand.
For joy’s power turns dark to light,
And quiets fears that haunt the night.
’Tis love and peace, divinely spun,
Lifts our hearts till we shine as one.
