Here Is Christmas

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 thousand candles burning bright

Here is Christmas shining in our eyes



Here is Christmas come inside

Here is Christmas far and wide

A million candles burning bright

Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
