CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914
("The Holiday's On!" Album)

Verse 1:
All across the Western Front were the sounds of human strife
Shots fired, hope expired in the frozen night
As the moon rose high on Christmas Eve, the eerie sounds of silence
Fell across the battlefield as song replaced the violence
Bridge:
A world war could not destroy the spirit of peace and joy
Chorus:
If we did it back then, we can do it again
Singing peace is for one and for al
Verse 2:
Christmas carols heard all around, sung from other lands
Music was the common ground, while guns were left unmanned
Bitter foe were instant friends as soldiers crossed the lines
Outstretched hands in no-man’s land - a truce for humankind
