And I believed in Father Christmas (The song)

[alphafemale]

This seasonal song has always moved me.

It's been called the agnostics carol. But does this show agnostics have soul too? :)


They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the VIRGIN BIRTH
<snip>

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

<snip>
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve

2. My favorite christmas song...

And I'm not an agnostic! If I don't hear that song in December, it just ain't Christmas.

You are not alone.

Where can one find that song, anyway?
