Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat a star
thinking very hard
To return once more to the He had assigned And a single for all of man He was to leave
But this gift that he was to not be taken from the heavenly court And how he leave something behind If nothing be brought
Now this was quite a And he not how to start When he suddenly a prayer from a child Reach deep into his
And his time was limited To this one night of the He not ignore this child's request So he he would start here
For though this was Christmas Eve And dreams all about Somewhere down below on He had felt this child begin to
A child who should have asleep was climbing attic stairs With her candle And a single Christmas
Now, angels they are called rarely just appear But often than not They whisper in one's ear
And when they whisper to a On nights when snow still The are much stronger still That, child, will listen
So in room where shadows live And ghosts that failed learn forgives friends, please stay awhile Our story starts with one small Who spends night in an attic dark Where dreams are stored like sleeping
Now, if you wonder why this child is With all asleep and near come up here to look for truth In this closest to the roof
For she had heard friends who feel That on this night is real no adults truly believe In all these things of Eve
This night seems to cast a spell Is the same world, tinseled well And as she lay in bed night She wondered if they be right
And she wondered who she might ask About this that had been cast For adults, she had told, you see Are part of this
But in her becoming clear The shadow of a idea
was one whose presence alone Would what she had known
But this man, he was so seen For he only arrived children dreamed But if she had believed was right He appear this very night So on this night with so at stake determined that she would stay awake
But then a problem came to It seems that had not been kind For their chimney had been that year Some bricks might fall, her feared
So she had another plan To when on the roof he lands So the ghosts left here by fate Upon night she sits and waits
Now as I'm you all must know one is waiting, time moves slow And as she what to do (her options far too few)
The Angel that child to look Behind a pile of books Among these disguised as junk She noticed a well worn trunk
It was filled with and one old wreath And several underneath Some ornaments, a hand rung And with a gramophone
A mix of long words melodies no longer heard All threads of long forgotten But here they had survived
These letters had caught her eye Now in her they seemed alive And as letter she unsealed A small of the past was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life spell And of all remembers well And as that child 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 song we'll summarize
