Lyrics
Verse 1
One hundred years from now
will anybody know we sang a
Christmas song?
When reindeer bells and choral
voices rang out strong
but won't you sing along?
oh sing along
Verse 2
One hundred years from now
will the winter calendar hold
Christmastide
Could we let a loving spirit
be our guide
oh-oh one hundred years from now
Chorus
One Hundred Years
One Hundred Years
One Hundred Years
From now
Verse 3
One hundred years from now
will anyone remember what we said today
Did we walk on eggshells with the words we’d weigh
the words we’d say
the words we’d say
Verse 4
One hundred years from now
will any pupil ponder how to push a pen
Will they still be making wooden pencils then?
Oh-oh one hundred years from now
Chorus
Verse 5
One hundred years from now
will coal and oil and gas be just a memory?
Will we have removed the plastic from the sea
the way it’s meant to be
Oh meant to be
Verse 6
One hundred years from now
will the air we breathe be fit for me and you?
Will the winds of change have made the planet new?
Oh-oh one hundred years from now
Chorus
Verse 7
100 Years from now
will we all be better women, better men?
Will we all have given up our weapons then?
Oh lord, if not then, when?
if not then, when?
Verse 8
100 years from now
Will anyone remember there was once a war.
Will anybody care what we were fighting for?
100 years from now?
Chorus
One Hundred Years
(spoken) Why must it take so long to sing a song of where we all went wrong
One Hundred Years
Why can’t we put our shoulders to the wheel and make it real
One Hundred Years
Why must we hesitate to get the world into better state
One Hundred Years
Let’s hope the record shows we did what we could,
One Hundred Years
That we did some good
From now
Outro
One hundred years from now
will anybody know we sang a Christmas song?
