Medley: Alfie, The Christmas Tree / Carol For A Christmas Tree / It's In Everyone Of Us |
Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree |
Who just didn’t want to change the show? |
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels. |
He liked icicles and snow. |
He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears, |
And critters and creatures that crawled. |
Why bugs were some of his very best friends, |
Spiders and ants and all. |
Now that’s not to say that he ever looked down |
On a vision of twinkling lights, |
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes, |
And a thousand other delights. |
And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer, |
And a jolly old man in a sleigh, |
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things, |
And the story of christmas day. |
Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas, alright. |
He was full of Christmas cheer, |
All of each and every day, |
And all throughout the year. |
To him it was more than a special time, |
Much more than a special day. |
It was more than a beautiful story. |
It was a special kind of way. |
You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring, |
And they’ve never heard of Santa Claus. |
They’ve never heard the story of the son of God, |
And that made Alfie pause. |
Did that mean that they’d never know of peace on earth, |
Or the brotherhood of man, |
Or know how to love, or know how to give? |
If they can’t, no one can. |
You see, life is a very special kind of thing, |
Not just for a chosen few, |
But for each and every living, breathing thing. |
Not just me and you. |
So in your Christmas prayers this year, |
Alfie asked me if I’d ask you. |
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood, |
And those who live there, too. |
It’s in every one of us to be wise. |
Find your heart. |
Open up both your eyes. |
We can all know everything, |
Without ever knowing why. |
It’s in every one of us, by and by. |
It’s in every one of us to be wise. |
Find your heart. |
Open up both your eyes. |
We can all know everything, |
Without ever knowing why. |
It’s in every one of us, by and by, |
By and by. |
