Somewhere in the
this night and God
An angel sat a star
While very hard
To return once more to the He had assigned And a gift for all of man He was to leave
But this that he was to leave Could not be from the heavenly court And how could he leave behind If nothing could be
Now was quite a puzzle And he knew not how to When he suddenly a prayer from a child Reach deep his heart
And though his time was To this one of the year He could not ignore this request So he he would start here
For though night was Christmas Eve And dreams were all down below on earth He had this child begin to doubt
A who should have been asleep was climbing attic stairs With her solitary And a single prayer
Now, when angels are called rarely just appear But more often not gently whisper in one's ear
And they whisper to a child On nights when snow glistens The chances are much still That, that child, listen
So in this room where shadows And ghosts that failed time forgives Welcome friends, please stay Our story with one small child Who spends this in an attic dark Where dreams are like sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why this child is With all asleep and near She's come up to look for truth In this closest to the roof
For she had heard from who feel That nothing on this night is That no adults truly In all these of Christmas Eve
This night that seems to a spell Is the same world, just tinseled And as she lay in bed night She if they might be right
And she then who she might ask About question that had been cast For adults, she had told, you see Are part of this
But in her mind clear The shadow of a child's
There was one presence alone Would reconfirm what she had
But this man, he was so seen For he only arrived when dreamed But if what she had believed was He appear this very night So on this with so much at stake She's determined that she would awake
But a problem came to mind It seems that fate had not kind For their chimney had been that year Some might fall, her father feared
So she had devised plan To hear when on the roof he So with the ghosts here by fate Upon night she sits and waits
Now as I'm sure you all know one is waiting, time moves slow And as she what to do (her options far too few)
The Angel caused child to look Behind a yellowed pile of these memories disguised as junk She noticed a well worn trunk
It was with toys and one old wreath And letters underneath Some ornaments, a hand rung And records a gramophone
A mix of long words With melodies no heard All of long forgotten lives But somehow they had survived
These letters had caught her eye Now in her hands they alive And as each she unsealed A piece of the past was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life spell And most of all remembers And as that child explored the Once that spell was cast
And as the child to read Upon this night of Eve The plan, as you can tell It was already working So as the gently arise In our first song we'll
