An angel returned 

That night through the sky 

But time it was short 

He had to decide 



And so as he flew 

Back over the land 

A gift for his Lord 

Was there in his hand 



It was the glow of a light 

It was the heart of a song 

It was the tear of a child 

Where they never belonged 

It was the wish of a soul 

On an old neon light 

And the Lord smiled at him 

On that cold winter night 



Hear as they ring through the night 

Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Here the bells ring through the night 



Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Hear as they ring through the night 



Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Hear as they ring through the night 



Listen to the bells as they ring 

Listen to the message they bring 

Listen to the sound 

As they sing as one voice in the night 



Hoping that we'll all understand 

Every dream we have's in our hands 

And for every bell 

May they ring all through the night 



Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Hear as they ring through the night 



Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Kyrie among nations 

Here as they ring through the night 



Listen to the bells as they ring 

Listen to the message they bring 

Listen to the sound as they sing 

As one voice in the night 



Hoping that we'll all understand 

Every dream we have's in our hands 

And for every bell 

May they ring all through your life 



AND SO WITH HIS STORY OVER 

AND OUR BOTTLE NEARLY THROUGH 

I ASKED, DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN? 

HE SWORE EVERY WORD WAS TRUE 



THEN HE SAID I SEE YOU'RE PUZZLED 

FOR YOUR MIND TELLS YOU TO DOUBT ME 

THAT MY STORY CAN'T BE TRUE 

BUT YOUR HEART TELLS YOU, IT MIGHT BE 



HE THEN ASKED, DID IT ENTERTAIN ME 

AND I ADMITTED IT HAD CHARM 

THEN HE SAID PERHAPS YOU HEAVE LEARNED SOMETHING 

OR AT WORST I'VE DONE NO HARM 



THEN HE ROSE UP FROM HIS CHAIR 

AND HE SAID IT'S TIME THAT HE SHOULD LEAVE 

BYT MAY GOD KEEP AND PROTECT YOU 

THIS AND EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE 



THEN HE LEFT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR 

AND I RAN OUT TO ASK HIM BACK 

BUT HE WAS ALREADY GONE 

AND STRANGER STILL HE LEFT NO TRACKS 



SO I WALKED BACK TO MY HOME 

RECALLING ALL I'VE HEARD AND SEEN 

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY CHILDHOOD 

THAT NIGHT I DREAMED A CHRISTMAS DREAM 



MERRY CHRISTMAS!
