” “Someday at Christmas men won’t be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free”
- From a song written and performed by Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder wrote and performed the song ‘Someday At Christmas’ in the mid-1960s while he was still in his teens and the War in Vietnam was ramping up and killing more lives. It’s lyrics tugged at people and the song became a bestseller for Motown Records at the time.
With all of the suffering and death from wars now raging in Ukraine and the Middle East, the song’s message, unfortunately, is just as relevant this Christmas.

Someday at Christmas, by Stevie Wonder
Someday at Christmas men won’t be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there’ll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life’s really worth
There’ll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we’ll see a land
With no hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Whoa, someday at Christmas there’ll be no tears
When all men are equal and no man has fears
One shinning moment one prayer away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart, yeah
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime
