[Verse 1]
Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree
Who just didn't wanna change the show?
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked icicles and snow
He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawled
Why, bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants and all
[Verse 2]
Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On visions of twinkling lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights
And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh full of toys
And presents and wonderful things
And the story of Christmas day
[Verse 3]
Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year
To him it was more than just a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way
[Verse 4]
You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Clause
They've never heard the story of the son of God
That made Alfie pause
Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love
Or know how to give?
If they can't, no one can
[Verse 5]
You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you
So in your Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I'd asked you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water
And the wood and those who live there too
[Verse 6]
It's in every one of us
To be wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us
By and by
[Verse 7]
It's in every one of us
To be wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us
By and by
By and by
