The night was black and velvet, the stars were all around
A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground
His eyes were wide with wonder filled with stars and space
He'd searched the heavens over till he found this placeA sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears
A song so faint and distant, so strong it drew him hereHere is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A thousand candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyesHe wandered through the city lost in the shopping crowds
People rushing, people pushing, he watched without a sound
Cash machines were singing about the biggest year
But above this strange confusion the carol still rang clearThen he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin
And he knew he'd found the answer when the song began againHere is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A thousand candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyesHere is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A million candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
