Lori Pappajohn — Good King Wenceslas lyrics

Lyrics

They said thereЂ™ll be snow at christmas
They said thereЂ™ll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virginЂ™s birth
I remember one christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
Ђ™till I believed in the israelite
And I believed in father christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
Ђ™till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said thereЂ™ll be snow at christmas
They said thereЂ™ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The christmas you get you deserve
