Story Behind The Song
One of my friends who I presume is an atheist had his young son killed in a car accident. I wondered what he must think of God. And then I thought about all the charade of singing hopeful Christmas carols in church at the same time that people are really suffering, except, we don't acknowledge their pain.

Silent Night - Additional Lyrics
Public Domain. Arr. Ashley Daneman ©2012
What I wouldn't give for a silent night, a holy night, when all is calm, and all is bright.
'Round the virgin, mother and child, a holy infant so tender and mild. But what's it got to do with me?
All I wanna do is sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night. Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from his holy face bring the dawn of redeeming grace.
But what's it got to do with me, that they're sayin' Jesus was Lord at his birth? Jesus was Lord at his birth?
What's it got to do with me, 'cause I lost all my family.
In this world of beauty, there's so much pain.
I don't even know if God knows my name.
I've got sickness in my body, I've got sickness in my soul.
And I even have the problem that I can't give up control. Oh, oh, oh.
If you're the son of God, if you're love's pure light...
Come on down here and show us the love tonight.
'Cause I need some answers to my questions in this Silent Night.
