Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
The stranger returned and said, "Now I must fly
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
Then the stranger spoke, he said, "Do not fear
And it went la la la la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry"
And over a village he halted his craft
I come from a planet a long way from here
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
And travelers on the road
La la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, oh
And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid
And I hear la la la la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
He followed a light and came down to a shed
And it goes la la la la la la la la la
And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here
And many were awakened on hearing that sound
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
Which shone all around
