It Could Happen Again - Collin Raye

«One frozen night in 1914

At the height of WWI

The unthinkable happened

All along the entire western front

The British and German soldiers

Lay down they’re weapons

In an unofficial ceast fire

To celebrate Christmas Eve together

They exchanged gifts

And saw each other as brothers

And that piece lasted for two more days

When they were ordered back to battle

In those few days, though

Men remembered the true meaning of christmas

Amongst the devastation

And it’s a story that should never be forgotten…»

Through the smoke-filled night

Silence rolls from both sides

Aross a bloody battlefield

It was a cold Christmas Eve

In 1914

For those who were there it seemed unreal

As time was still the Spirit moved the soldiers

To lay down they’re arms

Raise they’re voice in song

And pretend for awhile

The war was over

If it could happen then

It could happen again

A world torn apart

To join hands and hearts

To celebrate His birth

And peace on this Earth

If for one magic night

We could finally give a reason not to fight

Maybe there’s a chance.

This time it might last

As opposing sides approached

Through broken words they spoke

It wasn’t long before they felt at ease

They shared they’re cigarettes

What they had they used as gifts

They didn’t feel like enemies

With candles lit

They stood shoulder to shoulder

And on that field they found

True common ground

And as they prayed

They dreamed the war was over

If it could happen then

It could happen again

A world torn apart

To join hands and hearts

To celebrate His birth

And peace on this Earth

If for one magic night

We could finally give a reason not to fight

Maybe there’s a chance.

This time it might last

If it could happen then

It could happen again…
