Somewhere in the
Between night and God
An angel sat a star
While thinking hard
To return once more to the He had been And a single for all of man He was to behind
But this that he was to leave Could not be from the heavenly court And how could he leave something If could be brought
Now was quite a puzzle And he knew not how to When he felt a prayer from a child Reach deep into his
And his time was limited To this one night of the He could not ignore this child's So he decided he start here
For though this was Christmas Eve And dreams were all Somewhere down on earth He had felt this child to doubt
A child who should have been Instead was climbing attic With her candle And a Christmas prayer
Now, when angels are called They rarely appear But often than not They gently in one's ear
And when they whisper to a On nights when still glistens The chances are stronger still That, that child, will
So in this room where live And ghosts that failed learn forgives Welcome friends, please awhile Our story with one small child Who spends this night in an dark Where dreams are stored like hearts
Now, if you wonder why this child is With all and Christmas near She's up here to look for truth In place closest to the roof
For she had heard from friends who nothing on this night is real That no adults believe In all things of Christmas Eve
This night that seems to a spell Is the same world, tinseled well And as she lay in bed night She wondered if they might be
And she then who she might ask About this that had been cast For adults, she had told, you see Are part of conspiracy
But in her mind becoming The shadow of a idea
There was one presence alone Would reconfirm what she had
But this man, he was so seen For he arrived when children dreamed But if what she had was right He should this very night So on night with so much at stake determined that she would stay awake
But a problem came to mind It seems that fate had not been For their chimney had been closed year bricks might fall, her father feared
So she had another plan To hear when on the he lands So with the left here by fate Upon this she sits and waits
Now as I'm you all must know When one is waiting, moves slow And as she what to do (her options far too few)
The Angel caused that child to a yellowed pile of books Among these memories as junk She noticed a well worn trunk
It was filled with toys and one old And several underneath Some ornaments, a hand phone And with a gramophone
A mix of long forgotten melodies no longer heard All threads of long forgotten But somehow they had survived
These that had caught her eye Now in her hands they seemed And as letter she unsealed A small piece of the was revealed
For Christmas weaves a long spell And of all remembers well And as that explored the past Once again that was cast
And as the began to read Upon this of Christmas Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was working well So as the ghosts gently In our first song summarize
