Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat a star
While thinking very
To return more to the earth He had assigned And a gift for all of man He was to leave
But this gift he was to leave Could not be from 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 deep into his heart
And though his was limited To one night of the year He could not ignore child's request So he decided he start here
For though this was Christmas Eve And were all about Somewhere down on earth He had felt child begin to doubt
A who should have been asleep Instead was attic stairs With her candle And a Christmas prayer
Now, when they are called They rarely just But often than not They gently whisper in ear
And when they whisper to a On nights snow still glistens The chances are much stronger That, that child, will
So in this room where shadows And ghosts that failed learn forgives Welcome friends, stay awhile Our starts with one small child Who spends this night in an dark Where dreams are stored like hearts

But then a came to mind It seems that fate had not been For chimney had been closed that year bricks might fall, her father feared
So she had devised another To hear when on the he lands So with the ghosts here by fate this night she sits and waits
Now as I'm you all must know one is waiting, time moves slow And as she wondered to do (her seeming far too few)
The Angel that child to look a yellowed pile of books Among these disguised as junk She noticed there a worn trunk
It was filled with and one old wreath And several underneath Some ornaments, a hand rung And records with a
A mix of long words With melodies no heard All of long forgotten lives But here somehow had survived
These letters had caught her eye Now in her hands seemed alive And as each letter she A small piece of the past was
For Christmas weaves a life long And most of all remembers And as that child the past Once again that spell was
And as the began to read Upon night of Christmas Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was already working So as the ghosts arise In our first song we'll
