Somewhere in the
Between night and God
An angel sat upon a
While thinking hard
To return more to the earth He had assigned And a single for all of man He was to behind
But this gift that he was to Could not be taken from the court And how he leave something behind If nothing be brought
Now was quite a puzzle And he knew not how to When he suddenly a prayer from a child deep into his heart
And his time was limited To this one night of the He not ignore this child's request So he decided he would start
For though this night was Eve And dreams all about Somewhere down on earth He had this child begin to doubt
A who should have been asleep Instead was climbing stairs her solitary candle And a single Christmas
Now, angels they are called They rarely appear But often than not gently whisper in one's ear
And when whisper to a child On nights when still glistens The are much stronger still That, child, will listen
So in this where shadows live And ghosts that learn time forgives Welcome friends, please awhile Our story starts one small child Who this night in an attic dark Where dreams are stored like sleeping
Now, if you why this child is here With all asleep and near She's come up to look for truth In this place to the roof
For she had heard friends who feel That nothing on this is real That no adults truly In all things of Christmas Eve
This night that seems to cast a Is the same world, just tinseled And as she lay in bed that 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 this
But in her becoming clear The shadow of a child's
There was one presence alone Would reconfirm she had known
But man, he was so rarely seen For he only when children dreamed But if what she had was right He appear this very night So on this night with so much at She's determined that she stay awake
But a problem came to mind It seems that fate had not kind For their chimney had been closed that Some bricks might fall, her father
So she had devised plan To hear when on the roof he So with the left here by fate Upon this night she sits and
Now as I'm sure you all must When one is waiting, time slow And as she wondered to do (her options far too few)
The Angel caused child to look Behind a pile of books Among these memories disguised as She noticed a well worn trunk
It was filled toys and one old wreath And several underneath Some ornaments, a rung phone And with a gramophone
A mix of long forgotten With melodies no heard All threads of long forgotten But somehow they had survived
letters that had caught her eye Now in her they seemed alive And as each she unsealed A small piece of the was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life long And most of all well And as that child the past Once that spell was cast
And as the began to read Upon this night of Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was working well So as the gently arise In our first we'll summarize
