1. There was a kid called Joseph
He'd been dealt a bad hand
Was born poor and a bastard
But grew up to be a preacher
Made a new friend called Franz
Joe went over to Franz house
Said: see this poem I once wrote
I feel like it's got something
Can you please put some music
To my words
Looking down at the paper
And the title read: Silent Night

2. The first time they performed it
It was Christmas Eve
They sang it together
Franz plaved the guitar
I can see them before me
And this big shot organ builder
Fell in love with the song
Brought it back to his home town
Where some folk singers heard it
And they spread it around
Slightly changed
each time it was sung,
was
Silent Night

When I'm down I just think about it
How they must have felt when they performed it
If the choir cried when they sang it
If anyone in the church that day said
Well I like the older stuff better
They should do more upbeat tunes
It could have been a day like any other day
Where Joseph would be preachin
and Franz would be playin
9 out of10 days are slightly disappointing
But on the tenth, you see that light beckoning
They had no idea Silent Night
would turn out to be
Silent Night.

Sing it with me.
Let your voice carry
from all those miles away.
If you sing loud enough,
my microphone might record you
might record you
Silent Night
Only Night
Slient Night
Only Night
Slient Night
Only Night
Slient Night
Only Night

3. In World War One, 1914
Because it was Christmas,
there was a short truce on the battle field
Both sides laid own their weapons,
sang carols in the night.
And the day after,
like nothing had happened,
they continued the fight.
There was only one song
known to soldiers on both sides.
And for a second
All was calm, and all was bright.
