When Children Rule The World

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Jim Steinman.

Recorded by Donny Osmond on the album Songs From Whistle Down The Wind.

 

Hams and yams and cookies and candy,

Chimes of joy and candles that glow.

Hymns and carols, choirs are forming,

Everywhere that you go.

 

Père Noel, Père Noel,

Angels for every boy and girl

Nobody cries

Or tells any lies

The night that children rule the world.

When children rule the world tonight,

When children rule the world.

 

Doves and kings and shepherds and wise men,

Came together, followed the star,

They all gathered down in the manger,

They came from so very far.

 

Midnight is clear,

The spirits are here,

Angels that guard each boy and girl.

No hunger or thirst,

The last will be first,

The night that children rule the world.

When children rule the world, tonight,

When children rule the world.

 

All the greatest wishes are granted,

Let us sing, let innocence reign.

All the prayers are finally answered,

Blessed and free of all pain.

 

Towers of fire,

Rise ever higher,

Magical flags will be unfurled.

The power of song,

The young are the strong,

The night that children rule the world.

When children rule the world, tonight,

When children rule the world.

 

Père Noel, Père Noel,

Angels for every boy and girl.

The demons are gone,

The young are the strong,

The night that children rule the world.

When children rule the world, tonight,

When children rule the world.

 

Père Noel, Père Noel,

Angels for every boy and girl,

The demons are gone,

The young are so strong,

The night that children rule the world.

When children rule the world, tonight,

When children rule the world.

 

When children rule the world, tonight,

When children rule the world.
