Christmas Eve

 

It was the night before Christmas

And all was quiet

Not a single shot was fired

They’d bin at checkmate for a day or two

He was in his tent, thinking of home

His baby girl would be up soon.

He began to hum a song

There was a voice that began to sing along

It was not a langue that he could understand

But he knew the tone

He walked outside and sang along

Together they sang

There song filled the night

It reminded them of peace and happiness

Before soon everyone song long

There song filled the night sky

It reached to the heavens and beyond

For the first time they for got about war

They forgot their differences

And became one in song

As they sang along

They became one voice

In harmony

But the clock struck midnight

There song to an end

They had to fight again

But they’ll never forget

The night of Christmas Eve that they sang along.
