Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree
Who just didn't want to 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
Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision 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
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 a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way
You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
They've never heard the story of the Son of God
And 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
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 ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there, too
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
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
