John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over) - Video & Lyrics

This is the famous John Lennon Happy Xmas War is Over video.  The original featuring scenes from war-ridden times, has been viewed over 3 million times on Youtube and is in the video below.  As 2009 draws to a close, 29 years ago on December 8th 1980 was the day John Lennon was shot dead, just when his message and vision of Peace in this World was still in it’s infancy.  And today, that vision seems still a distant hope.  Yet the wonderful idea, to IMAGINE a world filled with Peace, where mothers, children, families, fathers can find the solace of knowing that they are safe from the devastating effects of war is a vision of hope that we all need to hold onto.  GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.

Visit http://www.imaginepeace.com/ the site that is a tribute to John Lennon and carries on his message to the world through Yoko Ono.  In this next video, you can listen to John Lennon talking about this message of War Is Over, a world peace, how insane it is to have one nation fight another on this only one planet that we have.  There are powerful messages in this video, if only people would listen there maybe hope to change this fragile world of ours.

Lyrics for Happy Christmas War Is Over by John Lennon

(Happy Xmas Kyoko
Happy Xmas Julian)

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let’s stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
A new one just begun (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas
