The Spirit of Christmas

The star of Bethlehem was shining Across a Palestinian sky The Church of the Nativity was crying And we looked on, who can tell me why? Where are the wise men when they're wanted? Nowhere to be seen, like thieves in the night The desert is drifting every closer The world won't sleep well tonight Where did the spirit of Christmas go? Lost in the desert or covered in snow Where did the spirit of Christmas go? If you can find it, please let me know The shepherds are in the fields sleeping Waiting for a sign to light up the sky Heaven is moving ever closer The promise of a child born on high Where did the spirit of Christmas go? Lost in the desert or covered in snow Where did the spirit of Christmas go? If you can find it, please let me know Looking for an answer that escapes me (Love set me free!) If there is a reason let me know (Whoa!) Drifting slow through time and space not knowing where we are How did we ever get this far? Where did the spirit of Christmas go? Lost in the desert or covered in snow Where did the spirit of Christmas go? If you can find it, please let me know Where did the spirit of Christmas go? Lost in the desert or covered in snow Where did the spirit of Christmas go? If you can find it, please let me know
