TOPIC: This song is a Christmas greeting and can also be stuff to think about the sense of life, war and peace, to think of your "near and dear ones" and also the poor and the weak. An eye for an eye will make us all blind (Mahatma Ghandi) GRAMMAR: It is also a good example of the use of Collective Adjectives, when the definite article (the) is combined with an adjective describing a class or group of people and the resulting phrase acts as a noun. (the old and the young) To get the same result, you can also put the word "ones" after an adjective. (yellow and red ones) Anyway, you can use the word "one" or "ones" instead of the name of a thing/things or a preson or people. (the near and the dear one) You can find samples of Present Perfect sentences in it too. First, try to understand the song just by listening to it, then check your understanding and extend your vocabulary from the lyrics below.
