A Child was born in the middle of the night
At once heaven was far away no more
A choir of angels sang: the world is not lost
And over all the Christmas star shone brightly
A new light was bestowed to you and me
That can warm our hearts over and over again
And when it's getting dark for us in this life
It starts to light up with all its might
Are you a grownup or are you still small?
That shouldn't be of any importance at all this evening
Aren't we all a child of man
Whenever we are born?
Are you a boy or a man?
Hasn't a woman been a girl at some time?
What keeps us together for always
Is felt now by so many people on earth
A Child was born in the middle of the night
At once heaven was far away no more
A choir of angels sang: the world is not lost
And over all the Christmas star shone brightly
A new light was bestowed to you and me
That can warm our hearts over and over again
And when it's getting dark for us in this life
It starts to light up with all its might
