Do you find it hard to sleep tonight,

Resting by the Christmas lights?

Could there be something you forgot?

Beyond the bows and mistletoe,

The tree with presents wrapped below,

There's more to this than you had ever thought.

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

What is Christmas,

The shepherds heard the angels sing.
    A
The wise men brought an offering.
D                                A
Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem.
