oh the snow flakes fell in scilence, over belleau wood that night

for a christmas goose had been prepared, on both sides of the line

as we laid there in our trenches, the scilence broke into

by a german soldier singing, a song that we all knew

though I did not know the language, the song was silent night

then I heard my buddy whisper, all is calm all is bright

then then fear in I srounded me, as I died if I was wrong

but I stood up in my tench, and I began to sing along

then across the frozen battlefield anothers voice joined in

until one by one each man became a singer of the hymn

then I thought I was green, for right there in my side

stood the german soldier, who had a fallen face of white

and he raised his hand and smiled at me, as if seemed to say

he was hopeing that we would both live to see, find a better way

then the devils clock struck midnight, and the skies lit up again

and the battlefield where heaven stood, is blowin up again

but for just one fleeting moment, the answer seemed so clear

heavens not beyond the clouds, its just beyond the field

no heavens not beyond the clouds, it for us to find here
