O Holy night | |
The stars are brightly shining | |
It is the night of our dear savior's birth | |
Now you all heard the story about | |
BethlehemHow the child was born and the three wise men | |
Heard the preacher tell it like the preacher does | |
But let me tell you, children, | |
That's not how it was | |
Now you might ask me what | |
I'm talking about | |
But I know the part that they all left out | |
Now do you hear what | |
I saidThat | |
Herod wanted those wise men dead | |
But on that blessed evening | |
My great great great great great great granddad | |
He saved those kings | |
Now granddad made his living | |
Playing jazz you see | |
But jazz wasn't big around one | |
A.D.So he got himself a job in the palace band | |
Where he heard about three kings | |
In the desert sand | |
Let me tell you children that at any time | |
Three kings in the desert that's a real rare find | |
But Herod heard of it too | |
And when he heard his curiosity grew | |
So he asked those kings to drop by | |
And my great great great great great great | |
GranddadHe wondered why | |
So the Magi told old | |
HerodThat they had come here | |
To find a newborn king of kings | |
Who'd heal our sins | |
Then herod told his guards | |
To follow those | |
MagiAnd that the only king around here | |
Was gonna' be him | |
Then he told his soldiers as | |
I recallWhen they found that child, to kill them all | |
But granddad overheard what | |
Herod said | |
And he had to act fast or else they'd all be dead | |
So granddad got to those kings | |
Filled them in on the plan, told them everything | |
When they heard what he had in store | |
They grabbed the gold | |
The frankincense | |
The myrrh, the jewels | |
The desert tents | |
And when they found | |
His plan was sound | |
They followed granddad out the back door | |
And what a night | |
It must have been | |
But when God is on your side | |
You kinda' know that in the end | |
You're gonna win | |
They traveled fast | |
They traveled far | |
And in the end they found | |
That they were standing with the | |
ChildBeneath the star | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
And so you see we've reached the end | |
Of our story | |
When granddad and the kings | |
Reached that stable on the hill | |
And while | |
I said that | |
Three kings in the desert is a rare sight | |
Angels singing in the desert that's far rarer still | |
Now I ain't sayin' that the bible was wrong | |
But ya' see the whole tale | |
Would have taken too long' | |
Cause way back then in the promised land | |
Every copy they sold, | |
It had to be written by hand | |
And granddad lived a long life | |
Stayed friends with those kings | |
And found a good wife | |
And eventually | |
I came along | |
But that my children | |
That my children | |
That's another song | |
The next letter included a receipt | |
For one toy stuffed bear | |
Donating it to a small thrift shop | |
But somehow it was left there | |
For attics have their secrets | |
And toys will have theirs, too | |
Like who once held or loved them | |
When they last were new | |
Whether they were made of metal | |
Or they were cotton stuffed | |
Or how they had been left here | |
When they were not enough | |
And so it's here that they must wait | |
Between reality and dream | |
Hoping all will be remembered | |
And that all can be redeemed | |
Then in the sound of the wind | |
Whistling through a door | |
She thought she heard the sound of children | |
That had held this toy before | |
And she then thought to herself | |
As she now held it in her hand | |
That no one could save all the world | |
But we should save who we can | |
So she placed it near her candle | |
For she had decided in her mind | |
That when she left this attic | |
He would not be left behind |
