Oh the snow flakes fell in silenceOver Belleau Wood that nightFor a Christmas truce had been declaredBy both sides of the fightAs we laid there in our trenchesThe silence broke in twoBy a german soldier singingA song that we all knewThough I did not know the languageThe song was Silent NightThen I heard my buddy whisper"All is calm, all is bright"Then the fear and doubt surrounded meCause I die if I was wrongBut I stood up in my trenchAnd I began to sing alongThen across the frozen battlefieldAnother's voice joined inUntil one by one each man becameA singer of the hymnThen I thought I was dreamingFor right there in my sightStood the german soldierNeath the falling flakes of whiteAnd he raised his hand and smiled at meAs if seemed to sayHere's hoping we both live to seeUs find a better wayThen the devils clock struck midnightAnd the skies lit up againAnd the battlefield where heaven stoodWas blown to hell againBut for just one fleeting momentThe answer seemed so clearHeaven's not beyond the cloudsIts just beyond the fearNo, heaven's not beyond the cloudsits for us to find it here
