Somewhere in the
this night and God
An angel sat a star
While thinking very
To once more to the earth He had assigned And a gift for all of man He was to behind
But this that he was to leave Could not be taken the heavenly court And how could he leave behind 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 his heart
And though his time was To one night of the year He not ignore this child's request So he decided he would here
For though night was Christmas Eve And dreams were all Somewhere down below on He had felt child begin to doubt
A child who should have been Instead was attic stairs With her candle And a Christmas prayer
Now, when angels are called rarely just appear But more often not They gently in one's ear
And they whisper to a child On nights when snow glistens The are much stronger still That, that child, will
So in this room shadows live And ghosts that failed learn forgives Welcome friends, please awhile Our story starts one small child Who spends this night in an attic Where dreams are stored sleeping hearts
Now, if you why this child is here With all and Christmas near She's come up here to for truth In place closest to the roof
For she had heard from friends who That nothing on night is real That no adults believe In all these of Christmas Eve
night that seems to cast a spell Is the same world, just well And as she lay in bed that She if they might be right
And she then who she might ask About this question that had been For adults, she had told, you see Are part of conspiracy
But in her mind clear The of a child's idea
There was one presence alone Would reconfirm what she had
But this man, he was so rarely For he only when children dreamed But if what she had believed was He should appear very night So on night with so much at stake She's determined that she stay awake
But then a problem to mind It seems that fate had not kind For their chimney had been closed year Some bricks fall, her father feared
So she had another plan To hear on the roof he lands So with the ghosts here by fate this night she sits and waits
Now as I'm sure you all know When one is waiting, time slow And as she what to do (her seeming far too few)
The caused that child to look Behind a pile of books Among memories disguised as junk She noticed there a worn trunk
It was filled with toys and one old And several underneath ornaments, a hand rung phone And with a gramophone
A mix of long forgotten With melodies no longer All of long forgotten lives But here somehow had survived
These letters had caught her eye Now in her they seemed alive And as each letter she A piece of the past was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life long And most of all well And as child explored the past again that spell was cast
And as the child to read Upon night of Christmas Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was already well So as the ghosts gently In our first song summarize
