Hayley Westenra Album

Music: James Hall
Lyrics: James Hall/Boh Runga

Just one bell rang on Christmas day.
Just one sound kept the cold away.
Just one hope that it's part might play.
On this frosty morning.

Oh! What gifts might the angels bring,
If their choice was of everything?
Maybe just that more bells might ring,
On this frosty morning.

Oh! But I wish for you at Christmas,
A song that is open and true.
To light up your world through your darkest hour,
And last the whole year through.

And all that I hope for you is laughter and joy
Throughout all the days you live.
If that's brought with love, then my gift of love,

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark,
At the end of a storm, there's a golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown...

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone...

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,

Written by: Mel Torme & Robert Wells

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although its been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Instrumental Break

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although its been said many times many ways

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know,
that your baby boy has come to make you new?
And the child that you delivered, would soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your baby boy would give sight to the blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your baby boy would calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know,
that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby,
you've kissed the face of God.

Oh Mary, did you know?

~ Instrumental Break ~

The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Oh Mary, did you know
that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?

Did you know,
that your baby boy is Heaven's perfect lamb?
And the sleeping child you're holding, is the great I AM.

Lyrics: James Hall/Carly Binding/Glen Cleaver

If I could change anything
Then love would heal everything.

Though I may be just one voice, I pray
That peace inherits the world
And joy and hope are unfurled
Though I may be young I see
If only we had faith in love
We could be free, we could be free.

Though I see through one child's eyes
I look beyond the world's disguise
Though I may be young I see
If only we had faith in love

(Regniy/Shane)

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
do you know what I know
do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
do you know what I know
do you know what I know
A Child, (a Child) shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,
listen to what I say
listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
listen to what I say
listen to what I say
The Child, (the Child, sleeping in the night)
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

(Harburg/Arlen)

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops.
Away beyond the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?

Where troubles melt like lemon drops.
Away beyond the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,

(Traditional)

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
'All hail', said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favour'd lady, Gloria!

'For known a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favour'd lady, Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
'To me be as it pleaseth God', she said,
'My soul shall laud and magnify His holy name,
Most highly favour'd lady, Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel the Christ, was born,
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And everyone throughout the world will ever say:

Everyone, we all have dreams,
A wish is all you need it seems.
How many of these dreams will come true?
See, I believe in many things,
A wish can be the smallest thing.
A smile on a face, or hand to guide you through.
When wizards seem to be riding with those genies
And no carpet rides for free.
That's when I believe dreams come true,
Through these eyes.

Through these eyes it's love that we need
For love is a wish that's granted for free.
It opens the heart for those who believe
So open your mind and see what I see
Through these eyes

It's not that we should disbelieve
In magic books or fantasy.
Love is a potion so take it upon yourself
And wizards you will be
No need to look for genies
taking carpet rides for free
That's when you'll believe dreams come true
Through these eyes.

Through these eyes it's love that we need
For love is a wish that's granted for free.
It opens the heart for those who believe
So open your mind and see what I see
Through these eyes

Through these eyes.

(instrumental break)

And wizards you will be
No need to look for genies
taking carpet rides for free
The magic wand will always stay alive
And it's then you see dreams come true
Through these eyes

Through these eyes it's love that we need
For love is a wish that's granted for free.
It opens the heart for those who believe
So open your mind and see what I see
Through these eyes

Through these eyes it's love that we need
For love is a wish that's granted for free.
It opens the heart for those who believe
So open your mind and see what I see
Through these eyes

Through these eyes it's love that we need
For love is a wish that's granted for free.
It opens the heart for those who believe
So open your mind and see what I see
Through these eyes

Through these eyes it's love that we need
For love is a wish that's granted for free.
It opens the heart for those who believe
So open your mind and see what I see

Lyrics: Eleanor Farjeon

Morning has broken, like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for the springing fresh from the world.

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning,
Born of the one light, Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day.

Morning has broken, like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,

Lyrics: Mohr

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, loves pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus Lord, at thy birth
