Truce For Christmas
Christmas Eve freezing rain
Battle lines blue and grey
Across the creek my foe I see
He's cold and hungry just like me
Came a voice plain as could be
Hey there Rebel hey Yankee
Merry Christmas same to you
Can you spare some coffee or food
Christmas 1862
Soldiers stopped to call a truce
Shared what little they could find
To celebrate at Christmas time
Blessed Christmas
Hear my prayer
Peace to soldiers
Everywhere
Christmas Eve World War One
Trenches and mud Western Front
German troops sang Silent Night
Oh Come On All Ye Faithful sang the Allied side
Christmas morning cold and white
Troops called out we won't fight
Greeted one another in No Man's Land
Trading gifts shaking hands
Christmas 1862
Soldiers stopped to call a truce
Shared what little they could find
To celebrate at Christmas time
Blessed Christmas
Hear my prayer
Peace to soldiers
Everywhere
Christmas Eve present day
Endless battles on display
Shouting slogans holding signs
Attacking anyone who's across the line
Christmas Eve silent night
Lessons learned from those who fight
Can we meet between the battle lines
Can we call a truce for humankind
Christmas 1862
Soldiers stopped to call a truce
Shared what little they could find
To celebrate at Christmas time
Blessed Christmas
Hear my prayer
Peace to soldiers
Everywhere
Battle lines blue and grey
Across the creek my foe I see
He's cold and hungry just like me
Came a voice plain as could be
Hey there Rebel hey Yankee
Merry Christmas same to you
Can you spare some coffee or food
Christmas 1862
Soldiers stopped to call a truce
Shared what little they could find
To celebrate at Christmas time
Blessed Christmas
Hear my prayer
Peace to soldiers
Everywhere
Christmas Eve World War One
Trenches and mud Western Front
German troops sang Silent Night
Oh Come On All Ye Faithful sang the Allied side
Christmas morning cold and white
Troops called out we won't fight
Greeted one another in No Man's Land
Trading gifts shaking hands
Christmas 1862
Soldiers stopped to call a truce
Shared what little they could find
To celebrate at Christmas time
Blessed Christmas
Hear my prayer
Peace to soldiers
Everywhere
Christmas Eve present day
Endless battles on display
Shouting slogans holding signs
Attacking anyone who's across the line
Christmas Eve silent night
Lessons learned from those who fight
Can we meet between the battle lines
Can we call a truce for humankind
Christmas 1862
Soldiers stopped to call a truce
Shared what little they could find
To celebrate at Christmas time
Blessed Christmas
Hear my prayer
Peace to soldiers
Everywhere
