Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat upon a
While very hard
To return once more to the He had been And a gift for all of man He was to behind
But gift that he was to leave Could not be taken from the heavenly And how could he leave something If could be brought
Now was quite a puzzle And he not how to start When he suddenly a prayer from a child deep into his heart
And though his was limited To this one night of the He could not ignore child's request So he decided he start here
For though night was Christmas Eve And dreams were all Somewhere down on earth He had felt child begin to doubt
A child who should have asleep Instead was climbing attic With her solitary And a single prayer
Now, when angels are called rarely just appear But more often not They whisper in one's ear
And they whisper to a child On nights when still glistens The chances are much stronger That, that child, will
So in room where shadows live And ghosts that failed time forgives friends, please stay awhile Our story starts with one child Who spends this night in an dark dreams are stored like sleeping hearts
Now, if you why this child is here all asleep and Christmas near She's come up here to look for In this closest to the roof
For she had heard friends who feel That nothing on this night is no adults truly believe In all these things of Eve
This night seems to cast a spell Is the same world, just tinseled And as she lay in bed that She wondered if they might be
And she wondered who she might ask About this question that had been For adults, she had told, you see Are part of this
But in her becoming clear The of a child's idea
There was one presence alone Would reconfirm she had known
But man, he was so rarely seen For he only arrived children dreamed But if what she had believed was He appear this very night So on this with so much at stake determined that she would stay awake
But a problem came to mind It seems that fate had not kind For chimney had been closed that year Some bricks might fall, her feared
So she had devised plan To when on the roof he lands So with the 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 seeming far too few)
The Angel that child to look Behind a yellowed pile of Among these memories disguised as She noticed there a well trunk
It was filled with and one old wreath And several letters Some ornaments, a hand rung And records with a
A mix of long words With no longer heard All threads of forgotten lives But here somehow they had
letters that had caught her eye Now in her hands seemed alive And as each letter she A small piece of the was revealed
For weaves a life long spell And most of all remembers And as that explored the past Once again spell was cast
And as the began to read this night of Christmas Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was already well So as the gently arise In our song we'll summarize
