The Glowing Garden "remember christmas" demo 11/30/2011

Merry Christmas from the Glowing Garden! Here's another installment of our evolving carol for Christmas 2011: "remember christmas". A gift for the "glowworms", we are posting the song as it evolves. We are continuing the tradition, started with last year's "the mulling carol", of releasing a new Christmas song each December.

Lyrics:
----------
Hear the bell the ringing bell
Calling you through the dark veil of dreams
Alarming you awakening
'Tis time, 'tis time
Another day of toil and schemes

The windshield scatters fallen leaves
Down the street another holiday appears
Plastic reindeer on the lawn
Behind the window
Pane the lonely faces peer
It's the coldest time of year

Remember Christmastime from long ago
Sleigh bells ringing in the falling snow
Singing songs that everybody knows
Breaking bread with those in need
Hold the ones you love

What child is this?
All alone in the glow
Of images designed to steal
And in the other room his mother wraps another
Toy designed to make him feel
Good (do you feel good?)
But in the child's heart there lies a place that's far away from all the pain and fear
A place that's ringed with trees and there a fire burns warming those who venture near
With tidings of good cheer

Remember Christmastime from long ago
Sleigh bells ringing in the falling snow
Singing songs that everybody knows
Breaking bread with those in need
Hold the ones you love
