Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys
Playin' with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December, our hearts will see
A world where men are free, mmh (someday, someday)
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, someday)
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 Christmas time (someday, someday)
Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land (someday at Christmas)
With no hungry children, no empty hand (someday at Christmas)
One happy morning, people will share
A world where people care, whoa (someday, someday)
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears (someday at Christmas)
When all men are equal and no man has fears (someday at Christmas)
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today, whoa (someday, someday)
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 Christmas time (someday, someday)
Someday at Christmas, men will not have failed
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart, whoa (someday, someday)
Someday at Christmas, hmm-hmm-hmm, mhm, hmm-hmm
Mhm-hmm, mhm-hmm
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas time
The Jackson 5, or Jackson Five, also known as The Jacksons in later years, was an American popular music group. Formed in 1964 under the name the Jackson Brothers, the founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. After participating in talent shows and the chitlin' circuit, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing two singles with the Steeltown label. In 1969, the group left Steeltown Records and signed with Motown.
Jackson 5 Christmas Album is the first Christmas album, and fourth studio album, by Motown family quintet the Jackson 5, released on October 15, 1970. Included on the Christmas Album is the Jacksons' hit single version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town". The Jacksons' versions of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" remain frequent radio requests during the Christmas season. The album spent four weeks at the number one position on Billboard magazine's special Christmas Albums chart that the magazine published in December 1970, making it the best-selling Christmas album of that year and also of the year 1972 in the United States. This album was a top seller and had the potential to chart high on the US Billboard Top LPs ranking, but from 1963 to 1973, holiday albums were not allowed to chart in it. The album has been praised by music critics.
In the US, the album was released on CD in 1986. In 2003, Universal Motown re-released the album as part of their 20th Century Masters - The Christmas Collection series. This version of the album was remastered and included the Michael Jackson solo song "Little Christmas Tree" as a bonus track (from the various artists compilation A Motown Christmas, originally released in 1973). In 2009, the album was once again re-released as Ultimate Christmas Collection, with Christmas greetings from four of the band members, remixes, and a medley of songs from the album.
