The Christians And The Pagans - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

Amber called her uncle said "We're up here for the holiday [00:00:13]

Jane and I were having Solstice now we need a place to stay "[00:00:17]

And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree [00:00:23]

He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye number three [00:00:28]

He told his niece "It's Christmas Eve I know our life is not your style "[00:00:33]

She said "Christmas is like Solstice and we miss you and its been awhile "[00:00:38]

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table [00:00:43]

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able [00:00:48]

And just before the meal was served hands were held and prayers were said [00:00:53]

Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses [00:00:57]

The food was great the tree plugged in the meal had gone without a hitch [00:01:07]

Till Timmy turned to Amber and said "Is it true that you're a witch "[00:01:11]

His mom jumped up and said "The pies are burning " and she hit the kitchen [00:01:17]

And it was Jane who spoke she said "It's true your cousin's not a Christian "[00:01:22]

"But we love trees we love the snow the friends we have the world we share [00:01:27]

And you find magic from your God and we find magic everywhere "[00:01:32]

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table [00:01:37]

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able [00:01:42]

And where does magic come from I think magic's in the learning [00:01:47]

'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning [00:01:51]

When Amber tried to do the dishes her aunt said "Really no don't bother "[00:02:01]

Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father [00:02:06]

He thought about his brother how they hadn't spoken in a year [00:02:11]

He thought he'd call him up and say "It's Christmas and your daughter's here "[00:02:15]

He thought of fathers sons and brothers saw his own son tug his sleeve saying [00:02:22]

"Can I be a Pagan " Dad said "We'll discuss it when they leave "[00:02:26]

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table [00:02:32]

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able [00:02:37]

Lighting trees in darkness learning new ways from the old and[00:02:41]

Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold[00:02:46]
