The Little Star - Christmas lyrics

Every year at Christmas time

The world comes to life

Amid the cold and grey days

When spirits should be low

The Infant Jesus, Santa Claus

Christmas trees, lights, presents

Decent folks in snow and smiles

Bringing brotherhood, caring, loving

A child's perception returns

Peace on earth, goodwill toward men

Kids only play war, no politics

But like purest softening snow

Midnight fall, lasting a short while

All the rough edges of the world

Are smoothed in a silent blanket

Moonlight and stars, beyond mens' cares

Jesus grows into a man

Santa goes back to the North Pole

The Christmas tree goes up in the attic

Stacked boxes of decorations and lights

The glitter is gone, but the glow goes on

Presents get put up, useful in time

The snow melts and smiles soon fade away

The world regains a somber mood again

Only one sign of Christmas remains

Never escaping us

Clinging to our reaching souls

Throughout the passing year

It is the highest hope

It tops the tree in brilliance

Brighter than the Northern Lights

It is The Little Star

The Little Star is with us

Throughout the year's span

Even when the clouds hide it

Peering through into our hearts

Filled with love and good cheer

This star, our hope and guidance

In our hour of need, always shining

Our companion when we are feeling low

The Little Star watches down always

It spreads the Christmas spirit all year

No matter who you are, what you do

All you have to do is look up

See it, and follow in it's path

A celestial beacon shows terriestial way

An inspriration of brotherhood

Of kindness, a symbol of love

Eternally present quasar

Born of ancient times

Guiding men since then

Sought by children wondering

Sometimes a wonderment in idle times

Staring at the sky with hope

Wishing upon falling stars

All a testiment to God's might
