Christmas Like a Lullaby

Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
A breeze upon the water, rainfall upon the sand
We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man
And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
It s morning in Australia; In fact it s Christmas day
And Colorado never seemed so very far away
Back where night has fallen and it s still Christmas Eve
And snow is on the mountains where I always hate to leave
Here I am down under with a brand new family
And Christmas bells are ringing
And there s presents neath the tree
I know that it s been said before and now I know it s true
That home is where the heart is And Christmas lives there too
And on this morning Peace on Earth
Is still our fervent prayer
And I can hear it being
Whispered softly everywhere
And guns are called to silence
And anger called to still
And brotherhood and sisterhood
Surrounded by goodwill
Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
A breeze upon the water, rainfall upon the sand
We celebrate a baby born from spirit into man
And Christmas like a lullaby steals across the land
