level 3
1st verse
There is peace and quiet here, now that the ground has turned white.
From the safe old church the song is flowing all the way here.
I*ve stopped by the road to rest for a while
and was caught up in the borderland connecting night and day.
And a glow from the candles behind the arched window frames
has united the souls that are with us here in Time.
And I know that those who have left us have realized that we are
like flickering flames as long as we are here.
2nd verse
And there, among sparkling stars that are dwindling one by one,
life gets very close, like a glimpse of Truth.
We*re prisoners in Time, like an imprint of a hand
on an frosty old window spared by the ravages of time.
One moment I*m eternal and then I know nothing more,
only one thing that I live as much as anybody else.
I am here and in the middle of a frozen road there is warmth nonetheless,
even though the snow has begun falling and the sky is turning grey.
3rd verse
There is peace and quiet here, now that the hymn has died away,
but I carry the old words is my heart like before.
And I sing for the Heavens, perhaps somebody else is listening:
Hosannah on high! Then I get going.
And I go to the others. I want to feel the Christmas peace.
I want to believe that he was born and is with us here in Time.
It*s Christmas, and within me there*s a child who wants to believe it happened
and who lights a candle every Sunday in Advent.
