It Could Happen Again

歌詞

Johnny Cash intro.... "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...
