[Chorus]
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
Such a very merry time to be alive
[Verse 1]
Bells ring in excelsis
All the angels sing
There's a blessing Christmas
Nothing else can bring
Forget your troubles
Let go your woe
Live for today
'Cause you might be dead come tomorrow
[Chorus]
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
Such a very merry time to be alive
[Verse 2]
Ah, praise God for the virgin birth
Let's give good cheer (Alleluia!)
He puts heaven here on earth
But once a year (Oh my God!)
The town is glowing
Hearts are alight
It won't stop snowing
Ah Jesus Christ, it's such a delight
[Chorus]
Oh, what a time to be alive
What a time to be
What a time to be alive
Such a very merry time to be alive
