Wait, wait, listen to that sound   The cannonballs have all fallen down    The snow, it falls through the night   And blankets the frozen ground   And just for one moment    (Just for one moment)   Just for one night   (One night)   You can rest   (You can rest)   And you can rest and not fear the sky      Picture after picture of pain and of strife   I've seen my friends go before my own eyes   You, your eyes are blue   And you, you've lost friends too   And you, you're caught in the crossfire of Europe's war      For one day, one day only   The fighting stops   For one day, one day only   Defenses drop   For one day, one day only   Brothers talk   For one day, one day only      Hold on, stop and pray   There's no movement inside the trench   The enemy doesn't look so mean   When Christmas fires are lit   Just for one moment    (Just for one moment)   Just for one night   (One night)   We can be   (We can be)   Yes, we can be side by side.      Day after day of fighting and dying   My eyes are tired of seeing, of crying   Tonight, the air is cold tonight   Our hearts are warm tonight    We're caught in the crossfire of Europe's war      For one day, one day only   A child was born   For one day, one day only   One man died   For one day, one day only   He came back alive   For one day, one day only      Let the bombings come, we can take it all    Hell or high water, even if the sky falls    But, I know we're sunk with all we can take   When I look around and I see this heartbreak      'Cause we weren't meant to inflict such wounds   Doesn't matter who we are or what we have to prove   Strike me, I bleed, but won't strike back   Lie to me, Jesus has died for that   There is nothing you can do to counter love      For one day, one day only   A child was born   For one day, one day only   One man died   For one day, one day only   He came back alive   For one day, one day only
