I Believe In Father Christmas

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
 They said there'll be peace on Earth
 But instead it just kept on raining
 A veil of tears for the Virgin 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 eyes full of tinsel and fire
 They sold me the dream of Christmas
 They sold me a Silent Night
 And they told me a fairy story
 'Till I believed in the Israelite
 And I believed in Father Christmas
 And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
 '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 there'll be snow at Christmas
 They said there'll be peace on Earth
 Hallelujah Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
 The Christmas we get we deserve
