A spaceman came travelling on a ship from afar Towards light-years of tme since his mission Did start And over a village He halted his craft and it'd hung in the sky Like a star Just like a star He followed a light and came down to a shed Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed A bright light of silver shone around his head And he had the face of an angel And they were afraid and the stranger spoke He said do not fear I come from a planet A long way form here and I bring a message for mankind to hear And suddenly the love for the child This lovely music went trenbling through the ground And many will waken on hearing that sound And travellers on the road The village they found By the light of the ship in the sky That shone all around And just before dawn At the paling of the sky The stranger returned and said Now I must fly When two thousand years of your time has gone by This song will begin once again To a baby's cry And it went la la Peace and good will to all men And love for the child la la Peace and good will to all men And love for the child la la
