There was a cold winter night   Where the dark went on forever   And the world seemed like a   Dream gone astray     And somehow there on this night   As the world huddled together   There a child slept at the end of   The day     And he dreamed of another world   In another time   And another place     Where no man   Has to wear a sign   Saying where he's from   Saying what's his race     And he wants us to believe   This world that he sees     What is the dream of this night   Why does it echo forever   Here in the cold at the end of   This year     And with all our different lives   Why do we dream it together   When at the first sign of snow it   Appears     When he dreamed of another world   In another time   And another place     Where no man   Has to wear a sign   Saying where he's from   Saying what's ris race     And he wants us to believe   This world that he sees     When he dreamed of another world   In another time   And another place     Where no man   Has to wear a sign   Saying where he's from   Saying what's ris race     And he wants us to believe   This world that he sees     When he dreamed of another world   In another time   And another place     Where no man   Has to wear a sign   Saying where he's from   Saying what's ris race     And he wants us to believe   This world that he sees     THEN THE CHILD HEAR A CLOCK TOLLING   FROM A DISTANT CITY TOWER   AND SHE GAZED UP AT THE STARLIGHT   ON THIS CHRISTMAS MIDNIGHT HOUR     AND SHE WONDERED IF THESE STARS   WERE ALL BUT BITS OF DREAMS   FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTAND PAST   THAT SOMEHOW, COULD STILL BE SEEN     AND SHE WONDERED IF HER CANDLE   UPON THIS MAGIC NIGHT   COULD BE SEEN BY SOMEONE FARAWAY   AS THEIR OWN STARLIGHT
