INTRO: VERSE 1: I've made this same mistake before too many malls, too many stores. December traffic, Christmas rush it breaks me till I push and shove. Children are crying while mothers are trying to photograph Santa and sleigh. Shopping and buying and standing forever in line- what can I say? I need a silent night, a holy night to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise. I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here to end this crazy day with a silent night. VERSE 2: December comes then disappears faster and faster every year. Did my own mother keep this pace or was the world a different place? Where people stayed home, wishing for snow watching three channels on their TVs. Look at us now, rushing around trying to buy Christmas peace. I need a silent night, a holy night to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise. I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here to end this crazy day with a silent night. BRIDGE: What was it like back there in Bethlehem? With peace on earth Good will toward men I need a silent night, a holy night to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise. I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here to end this crazy day with a silent night. To end this crazy day with a silent night.
