Here Is Christmas

Heart

The night was black and velvet
The stars were all around A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground
His eyes were wide with wonder
Filled with stars and space
He'd searched the heavens over
Till he found this place A sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears A song so faint and distant, so strong it drew him here
Here is
Christmas come inside
Here is
Christmas far and wide A thousand candles burning bright
Here is
Christmas shining in our eyes
He wandered through the city
Lost in the shopping crowds
People rushing people pushing
He watched without a sound
Cash machines were singing about the biggest year
But above this strange confusion
The carol still rang clear
Then he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin
And he knew he'd found the answer when the song began again
Here is
Christmas come inside
Here is
Christmas far and wide A million candles burning bright
Here is
Christmas shining in our eyes
