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
