VERSE
MIm DO SOL
Through the smoke filled night silence rose from both sides

It was a cold Christmas Eve in 1914

To those who were there, it seemed unreal

To lay down their arms and raise their voice in song
DO REsus RE
And pretend for a while the war was over

If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight

Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last.
VERSE
As opposing sides approached through broken words they spoke
It wasn't long before they felt at ease
They shared their cigarettes, what they had they used as gifts
They didn't feel like enemies
With candles lit they stood shoulder to shoulder
And on that field they found true common ground
And as they prayed they dreamed the war was over
CHORUS
If it could happen then, it could happen again
A world torn apart could join hands and hearts
To celebrate his birth and peace on this Earth
If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight
Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last.
SOL RE MIm DO
If it could happen then, it could happen again.
