I know, I know. Write a new Christmas song! Hopefully soon. But I am still happy with the way this one came out. Click on the title to listen and/or download. Thanks to Beth Swales for some excellent singing on the track. Merry Christmas!
When the Romans ruled in Israel
A savior child was born
would he lead the zealots
and sound the battle horn?
But not a general or a warlord
or a president was he
He taught inner transformation
was the key
Christmas came out of a war
Christmas was born into hostile occupation
so maybe some good will can come to me and you
We know Jesus was born in a manger,
that’s what the stories say.
But today we live in castles while we pray
Maybe celebrating Christmas
can still keep us occupied
But the Romans haven’t left us
They’re inside.
Christmas came out of a war
Christmas was born into hostile occupation
so maybe some good will can come from me and you
Christmas is coming again.
Christmas is coming again.
Christmas is coming again.
Christmas is coming again.
Beautiful, Steven. Thanks for posting the lyrics to your song. Merry Christmas to you and Susan, too!
