Alfie, The Christmas Tree / Carol For A Christmas Tree / It's In Every One Of Us Paroles

And critters and creatures that crawled
Why bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants and all

Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkling lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights

And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And the story of Christmas Day

Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas, alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year

To him it was more than a special time You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
They've never heard the story of the Son of God
And that made Alfie pause

Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give?
If they can't, no one can

You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you

So in your Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there, too

It's in every one of us to be wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us, by and by

It's in every one of us to be wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us, by and by
By and by
