Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree Who just didnt want to change the show He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels He liked icicles and snow He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears And critters and creatures that crawled Why bugs were some of his very best friends Spiders and ants and all Now thats not to say that he ever looked down On a vision of twinkled lights Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes And a thousand other delights And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer And a jolly old man in a sleigh Full of toys and presents and wonderful things And a story of Christmas day Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright He was full of Christmas cheer All of each and every day And all throughout the year To him it was more than a special time Much more than a special day It was more than a special story, it was more than a beautiful story It was a special kind of way You see some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring And theyve never heard of Santa Claus Theyve never heard the story of the Son of God That made Alfie pause Did that mean that theyd never know of peace on earth Or the brotherhood of man Or know how to love, or know how to give If they cant no one can You see, life is a very special kind of thing Not just for a chosen few But for each and every living, breathing thing Not just me and you So when youre at Christmas prayers this year Alfie asked me if Id ask you Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood And those who live there too Its in every one of us to be wise Find your heart, open up both your eyes We can all know everything without ever knowing why Its in every one of us, by and by Its in every one of us to be wise Find your heart, open up both your eyes We can all know everything without ever knowing why Its in every one of us, by and by, by and by
