The Spirit of Christmas

The star of Bethlehem was shining

Across a Palestinian sky

The Church of the Nativity was crying

And we looked on, who can tell me why?

Where are the wise men when they're wanted?

Nowhere to be seen, like thieves in the night

The desert is drifting every closer

The world won't sleep well tonight

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

Lost in the desert or covered in snow

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

If you can find it, please let me know

The shepherds are in the fields sleeping

Waiting for a sign to light up the sky

Heaven is moving ever closer

The promise of a child born on high

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

Lost in the desert or covered in snow

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

If you can find it, please let me know

Looking for an answer that escapes me (Love set me free!)

If there is a reason let me know (Whoa!)

Drifting slow through time and space not knowing where we are

How did we ever get this far?

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

Lost in the desert or covered in snow

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

If you can find it, please let me know

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

Lost in the desert or covered in snow

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?

If you can find it, please let me know
