Belleau Wood - The Country Music Crew[00:00:00]
Oh the snowflakes fell in silence[00:00:12]
Over Belleau Wood that night[00:00:16]
For a Christmas truce had been declared[00:00:20]
By both sides of the fight[00:00:24]
As we lay there in our trenches[00:00:28]
The silence broke in two[00:00:32]
By a German soldier singing[00:00:36]
A song that we all knew[00:00:40]
Though I did not know the language[00:00:46]
The song was Silent Night[00:00:50]
Then I heard my buddy whisper[00:00:54]
All is calm and all is bright[00:00:57]
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me[00:01:02]
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong[00:01:05]
But I stood up on my trench[00:01:09]
And I began to sing along[00:01:13]
Then across the frozen battlefield[00:01:19]
Another's voice joined in[00:01:23]
Until one by one each man became[00:01:27]
A singer of the hymn[00:01:32]
Then I thought that I was dreaming[00:01:39]
For right there in my sight[00:01:43]
Stood the German soldier[00:01:47]
'Neath the falling flakes of white[00:01:51]
And he raised his hand and smiled at me[00:01:55]
As if he seemed to say[00:01:59]
Here's hoping we both live[00:02:03]
To see us find a better way[00:02:06]
Then the devil's clock struck midnight[00:02:13]
And the skies lit up again[00:02:16]
And the battlefield where heaven stood[00:02:21]
Was blown to hell again[00:02:25]
But for just one fleeting moment[00:02:34]
The answer seemed so clear[00:02:38]
Heaven's not beyond the clouds[00:02:42]
It's just beyond the fear[00:02:46]
No heaven's not beyond the clouds[00:02:52]
It's for us to find it here[00:02:56]
