I've heard that song before and I have always liked it , this time of year there are so many good songs on the country stations that only get played around christmas , here are the words to one of my favorites that is actually a true story!
"A Soldiers Hymn"
by Garth Brooks
Oh the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Bellawood that night
For a Christmas truce had been declared
By both sides of the fight
And as we lay there in our trenches
The silence broke in two
By a german soldier singing
A song that we all knew
Though I did not know the language
The song was Silent Night
And then I heard my buddy whisper
"All is calm, and all is bright"
Then the fear and doupt surrounded me
Cause I'd die if I was wrong
But I stood up in my trench
And I began to sing along
Then across the frozen battlefield
Another voice joined in
Till one by one each man became
The singer of a hymn
Then I thought that I was dreaming
For right there in my sight
Stood the german soldier
Beneath the fallen flakes of white
Then he raised his hand
And smiled at me
As if he seemed to say
Heres hoping we both live to see us find a better way
Then the Devil's clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again
And the battlefield where heaven stood
Was blown to hell again
But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heavens not beyond the clouds
Its just beyond the fear
No heavens not beyond the clouds
Its for us to find it here
Merry Christmas to all of you!
