LyricMeaning

"I Believe In Father Christmas"
Greg Lake

They said There'll be snow at Christmas
They said There'll be peace on Earth,
But instead it just kept on raining,
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth.

I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas-tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire.

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
They told me a fairy story
Till I believed in the Israelite

And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn, in the first light of dawn
And I saw him through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

They said There'll be snow at Christmas
They said There'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah, Noel! Be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve.

(choral instrumental)
