Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat upon a
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 gift that he was to Could not be taken the heavenly court And how he leave something behind If nothing be brought
Now was quite a puzzle And he not how to start When he suddenly felt a prayer a child deep into his heart
And though his time was To this one of the year He could not ignore this child's So he decided he would here
For though this was Christmas Eve And were all about Somewhere below on earth He had felt this child to doubt
A child who should been asleep Instead was climbing attic With her candle And a Christmas prayer
Now, when angels are called They rarely appear But more often not gently whisper in one's ear
And when they whisper to a On nights when snow still The chances are much stronger That, that child, listen
So in room where shadows live And ghosts that learn time forgives Welcome friends, please awhile Our story starts with one small Who spends this night in an attic Where dreams are like sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why this child is With all asleep and near She's come up here to look for In this closest to the roof
For she had heard from who feel That nothing on night is real no adults truly believe In all these of Christmas Eve
This night that seems to cast a Is the same world, tinseled well And as she lay in bed night She if they might be right
And she wondered then who she ask About this question that had cast For adults, she had told, you see Are of this conspiracy
But in her mind becoming The shadow of a child's
was one whose presence alone Would what she had known
But this man, he was so seen For he only arrived when children But if what she had believed was He should appear this night So on this with so much at stake She's determined she would stay awake
But a problem came to mind It seems that fate had not been For their chimney had been closed that Some bricks might fall, her father
So she had devised plan To hear 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 wondered to do (her options far too few)
The caused that child to look Behind a yellowed pile of these memories disguised as junk She noticed there a worn trunk
It was filled with and one old wreath And letters underneath ornaments, a hand rung phone And with a gramophone
A mix of long forgotten melodies no longer heard All threads of long 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 of the past was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life long And most of all remembers And as child explored the past Once again that spell was
And as the began to read Upon this of Christmas Eve The plan, as you can tell It was working well So as the ghosts arise In our song we'll summarize
