Story Behind The Song
I wrote is on xmas day last year while cooking the turkey. The wife kept telling me off for disappearing into the computer room instead of getting on with cooking the dinner. Then I started recording my daughter singing it which made the xmas dinner even later. Then there was the mixing and the remixing of course..... we ate late I guess.
Song Description
The initial 2 verses are doom and gloom - why do people still fight wars at xmas etc.. The key change half way through is crucial as the question 'where is the love at xmas' is answered - its in us all!

Lyrics
Where is the love this Christmas
Did someone hang it high upon a tree
Where is the love this Christmas
Is there none around for us to see
There's wars on tv, and no one can agree,
how to bring the fighting to an end
People don't understand, they should just lend a hand
Can't they see that we all need a friend
Where is the love this Christmas
Did someone hang it high upon a tree
Where is the love this Christmas
Is there none around for us to see
Is there nothing to hear, that will bring us good cheer,
And show the world a loving heart
A good reason to shout, that we 're not just about
Tearing this old world apart.
Here is the love for Christmas
Its all around us can't you see
Here is the love for Christmas
Can't you see it here in you and me
Its knowing we care, and we want to share
because there's always someone in need
So don't turn away, on this Christmas day
There'll be hungry mouths to feed
Here is the love for Christmas
Its all around us can't you see
Here is the love for Christmas
Can't you see it here in you and me
Can't you see it here in you and me
