I was trying to write a Christmas song for 25 years and I finally came up with one.
Lyrics
The Gift of Light
All was quite one silent night, when everything outside was white,
A night in time so far away, was celebrated on this day.
On this day
Inside the house two hearts would glow, kissed beneath the mistletoe,
And a present from the boy, smiled upon just like a toy.
Like a toy
And out of the darkness of the silent night
Came the gift of light
The season calls to large and small, to celebrate the trumpet’s call,
To beat the drums and deck the halls, and share the light inside us all.
Inside us all.
And out of the darkness of the silent night
Came the gift of light
George Wythe Wayne
