Lyrics

A Silent Christmas Night
? Charley Sandage
2011

Could there be a silent Christmas night

No bombs, no guns, no one to fight

That would be a calm, bright, holy, silent Christmas night


Along with holly in the halls

Could there be food and safe, warm walls

The ones we love most for us all some silent Christmas night


The one we say this day is for was love walking

On such a silent night we'd hear that love talking


Then, joy to all the world around

We would find some common ground

Where hate and hunger won't be found, some silent Christmas night

(Repeat chorus)

(tag) Could there be a calm, bright, holy, silent Christmas night
