Christmas Day in the Morning

Children's laughter in the air,
The smell of pine is everywhere,
All the love that we can share,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Thank the Lord and lady then,
For that warm peace we feel within,
When we gather once again,
On Christmas day in the morning.

The wonder of the Virgin birth,
The child who brought us love and mirth,
Giving all of His souls worth,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Yet so many years before,
We knew the wonders still untold,
The lady guiding us to shore,
On Christmas day in the morning.

The awe the standing stones impart,
Awakening a hidden part,
Longing deep within our hearts,
On Christmas day in the morning.

With the ancient ones give voice,
Dance together is our choice,
Share the mysteries, rejoice,
On Christmas day in the morning.
