Happy Christmas (War is Over) - John Lennon não podia faltar!

Happy Christmas (War is Over)
John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Plastic Ono Band

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

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

Apesar de ter sido composta como uma canção de protesto de Lennon contra a Guerra do Vietnam em 1969, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" se tornou um enorme sucesso como música de Natal. Foi gravada dois anos depois de composta, no final de outubro de 71, nos estúdios da Record Plant em Nova Iorque com a ajuda do produtor Phil Spector. A gravação apresenta um grande côro de crianças do Harlem Community Choir.
