There Was A Star

About this track
Lights are hanging on the eaves Garlands wrapped around the tree Snow is falling, laying down A blanket o’er our sleepy town The house is dressed up for the night One by one we all arrive We know we’re not kids anymore But we still know what the season’s for And as the laughter echoes ‘round In our hearts we know our love is bound There was a star up in the sky There was a shepherd there that night There was a gift, we needed so much There was the way, the truth, and the life There was a star up in the sky There was a shepherd there that night There was a gift, we needed so much There was the way, the truth, and the life So let us feel the promise of a love And know that it’s a gift from up above Christmas brings old memories Happy thoughts, some bittersweet Jumbled mess we carry inside Some we tell, and some we hide Being here feels just like home Fills the holes, where something’s gone We don't have to say a word Something deeper's being heard The silence holds what words can't say A love that found us anyway There was a star up in the sky There was a shepherd there that night There was a gift, we needed so much There was the way, the truth, and the life There was a star up in the sky There was a shepherd there that night There was a gift, we needed so much There was the way, the truth, and the life [Post chorus] The promise given long ago (Still) gathers us and makes us whole Lights are hanging on the eaves Garlands wrapped around the tree Snow is falling, laying down A blanket o’er our sleepy town
