They said there'll be
snow at Christmas
They said there'll be
peace on Earth
But instead it
just kept on raining
a veil of tears
for the Virgin birth
I remember
one Christmas morning
a winters light
and a distant choir
And a peal of a bell
and that
Christmas Tree smell
and their eyes
full of tinsel and fire
They sold me
a dream of Christmas
They sold me
a Silent Night
And they told me
a fairy story
till I believed
in the Israelite
And I believe
in Father Christmas
and I look to the sky
with excited eyes
Till I woke with a yawn
in the first light of dawn
and I saw him and
through his disguise
I wish you
a hopeful Christmas
and I wish you
a brave New Year
All anguish
pain and sadness
leave your heart
and let your road be clear
They said there'll be
snow at Christmas
They said there'll be
peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel
be it Heaven or Hell
the Christmas
we get we deserve
