The Christmas Spirit - Johnny Cash
Praises sing to Christ the king and peace to men on earth
On Christmas eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth
And in my dream I saw and heard the ways the different people
Hail the king
Whose star shone in the east and what a dream it was
In London town I walked around Piccadilly Circus
A mass of people moving here and there I wandered where
On every face at every place was hurry up I'm late
But a kind old man at a chestnut stand said merry Christmas mate
And I felt the Christmas spirit
In a little town nestled down in Bavaria Germany
I walked along to see what the feeling there would be
And here again was the busy din the rushing the yelling
But some kind boy said Froehlich weihnachten
Not understanding the words but getting the buying and selling
I felt the Christmas spirit
In Bethlehem I heard a hymn some distant choir sang
And with other tourists I walked along to a church as its bells rang
Then I heard someone tell someone there's where Christ was born
I wonder if he looked like our baby looked on that first morn
And then I really felt the Christmas spirit
From a businessman in the holy land as a sidewalk souvenir shop
I bought a little bible since I'd hardly stopped
And it was in Paris France somehow by chance that I took the bible out
And as I flipped the pages I saw these words and
I knew what it was all about
For I read fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy
Which shall be to all people
For unto you he was born this day in the city of David a savior
Which is Christ the lord
Then I took the little holy book held it close and tight
I closed my eyes and visualized the glory of that night
So suddenly it came to me for when I awoke on Christmas day
I felt the Christmas spirit down deep inside to stay
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shined the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
