[NARRATION]



Now all that had occurred here this night 

The angel had clearly seen 

Not unlike an old fashioned movie 

Upon a silvered screen 

That borders on the edge of a 

Forgotten childhood dream 



And from all that he had witnessed 

He thought his answer he had found 

And once more unfolded his wings 

And left earth's solid ground 



With every sweep of those wings 

Across time and space he soared 

Until he found himself standing 

Back in heaven, before his lord 



And he told his lord the name of the father's son 

But then he hesitated 

Like a child in school unsure of his answer 

But the lord, he patiently waited 



Then the angel added the names 

Of the parishioners at the church 

The musicians, the storyteller 

The operator and the hospital nurse 



Eventually there was hardly a person 

That the angel had missed 

And then at the very end he placed 

The father's name, also on that list 



That anyone could reflect his lord's son 

Was now the angel's view 

All it took was to follow the simple word's of his son 

"to do unto others, as you would have others do unto you" 



Then the lord smiled at his angel 

And said, "you have done more than your task 

It's a gift that eyes rarely have 

That can see further than they are asked." 



And so this night is ending 

So close to where it did start 

As the angel slept deep that night 

Within his lord's own heart 



For hope never dies 

At worst it only sleeps 

And all we surrender 

Christmas safely keeps 



Through the cold winter nights 

Of the longest decembers 

Till here by starlight 

We begin to remember 



That in the very end 

The message christmas is sending 

Is that it is never too late 

To change any life's ending 



[The end]



[After the end or (the next day)]



So christmas eve had come and past 

But not so christmas day 

And thus it is, we add a final act 

Onto our yearly play 



A taxicab pulled up to the grand hotel, 

That morning somewhere around eight 

And the father with his son got out 

And asked the driver, to please wait 



Then the father asked the clerk if he could speak 

To the couple in room twelve twenty-four 

Adding he did not know the couple's name 

But had met their child the night before 



The clerk answered most politely 

That he would like to fulfill his wish 

But the room number twelve twenty-four 

In this hotel, did not exist 



The father then described the little girl 

Her age and dress as well 

But the clerk said there had been no children there at all that week 

Was he sure he had the right hotel? 



So the father started wondering 

If in the cold winter's air 

He had somehow imagined the entire event 

But then he realized, he didn't care 



The only thing that mattered 

When all was said and done 

Was that he was reunited 

With his one and only son 



And when they got back into their cab 

He heard a ripping sound 

As the contents of his wife's folder 

Spilled out onto the ground 



As he rushed to pick it all up 

He grabbed the picture first 

Of him and his wife at the age nineteen 

Long before she had given birth 



And on the back he saw a poem he had written to her 

Years before they had wed 

When they were young, their lives just begun 

And here is what it said, 



"if a single tear fell from your eyes into the ocean 

And then washed up on some far and distant shore 

I would still recognize that teardrop 

For in the end that tear would still be yours" 



And then he saw another picture 

That he had never seen before 

Of a little girl in a russian styled coat 

Standing with her parents, in front of their store 



The little girl he saw there 

He now knew was a childhood picture of his wife 

But it was also a picture of the little girl 

He had just met on the previous night 



And he realized that those who love 

Death cannot divide 

It only provides an extra soul 

To watch over us from the other side 



And together they returned 

Back to the father's home 

And shared the best christmas 

That either of them had ever known 



And somewhere across eternity 

Which in distance cannot be measured 

The mother looked down upon them both 

And their happiness she treasured 



And later on late that night 

When her son was drifting off to sleep 

A tear once more rolled from her eyes 

And trailed across her cheek 



But this one was a tear of joy 

That she could not keep inside 

And this time she followed it through eternity 

Across the great divide 



Till it landed by another joyful tear 

That her husband had just wept 

And there unseen she joined him 

In the silent vigil that he kept 



For we are all born mortal 

Like stars and candlelight 

And all that really matters 

Is what we do before we fall asleep each night 



[CHRISTMAS CANON ROCK]



This night 

We pray 

Our lives will show 



This dream he had 

Each child 

Still knows 



We are waiting 

We have not forgotten 



On this night 

On this night 

On this night 

On this very christmas night
