Story Behind The Song
I literally got up in the middle of the night to write this song. I wrote so many verses, the song was incredibly long. I cut out a few things to keep it around 5 minutes, which is the usual length of the Christmas video. There is a short version that cuts even more and is a little faster tempo. Even that is not short, but to cut any more seems like it would cut at the heart of the song. That's what the song is really about: heart. Peace, love, and blessings are my wish for you this and every Christmas.

Lyrics
Peace, Love, and Blessings
You ask me what I want for Christmas
But there's nothing you can buy
That will truly make me happy
Or bring meaning to my life
What I want for Christmas is simple but I know
The gift that Jesus gave us
Two thousand years ago
I want peace, I want love, I want blessings from above
I want us all to be together and to let it last forever
I want peace, love, and blessings for us al
For us all
When I was a child, I loved Christmas
And Santa to visit at night
Unwrapping presents
Under a tree decked with lights
Now I know there's something
That means more than any gift
Santa never brought it
But it came with togetherness
If it were as simple as what came in Santa's sleigh
The things that I am wishing for
On every Christmas day
Bring me peace, bring me love, bring me blessings from above
Bring me time we're all together and to let it last forever
Bring me peace, love, and blessings for us all
For us all
So what is it you want for Christmas?
Maybe I would buy it for you
I'll wrap it up with pretty bows
But know that this is true
If it's thought that counts, it's not the gift
I really had in mind
No, but here's my Christmas list
For us and all mankind
Bring us peace, bring us love, bring us blessings from above
Bring everyone together and please let it last forever
Bring us peace, love, and blessings for us all
Bring us peace, bring us love, bring us blessings from above
Bring everyone together and please let it last forever
Bring us peace, love, and blessings for us all
For us all
