This is the solo album version of Nicholas Jonas' very first single, Joy to the World (A Christmas Prayer). There are actually 4 different versions of this song. This was the third or fourth version released, although only the first and last versions were released to the public. (I think...)
Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Every year at Christmas
All I can see
Are pictures of the things I want
Around the tree
But this years a little different
I'm not thinking of myself
So my prayer for this Christmas
Is for somebody else...
(CHORUS)
So i pray joy....
To the world
Peace...
For every boy and girl
Hope...
When life is hard
Light...
When everything seems dark
God I know you're listening
And you can hear
The need of every broken heart
And all their tears
I don't have a lot to offer
Just this one simple prayer
That this Christmas everyone would know
Somebody cares
(CHORUS)
I pray that every hungry soul
Will be fed and will be warm
That not a single solitary child
Would suffer harm
And wars would find their ending
As we take another view
My hope is that this Christmas Prayer
Would some how come true
I pray humanity
Would rise and join with me
And together we'll sing
Hoo whoa whoa joy!
(Joy to the world)
To all the world
Peace for every boy and girl
Talkin' 'bout hope
(When life is hard)
When life
Is hard
(When everything seems dark)
(I pray that every)
I pray yeah
(will be fed and will be warm)
Every single child
(that not a single solitary child would suffer harm)
Never suffer harm, ooh whoa
(And wars would find their ending)
(as we take another view)
Can we take another view?
(My hope is that this Christmas Prayer)
(would somehow come) True
Joy...
To the world...
Peace...
For every boy and girl

There is a slight difference. This one, he sings more of the chorus after the first verse. Instead of stopping at "Peace for every boy and girl" he goes all the way to "Light when everything seems dark." And the pause at the end of this one is longer than the first one. And i personally think the choir of adults + Kevin & Joe sounds different. Other than that, they are exactly the same. If you are thinking about getting both versions, it's really not worth it, because they sound mostly the same.
