Story behind the song
I first wrote this as a Christmas choral song when I was a teenager and latterly arranged it for synthetic voices, harp, guitar, flute, clarinet, organ and bass using cakewalk overture's software
Lyrics
A baby in a manger.
The herald host appears.
A star shines bright and casts its light Across the troubled years.
“Peace on earth, goodwill to all” We sing it once a year
And then retreat behind a wall
Of prejudice and fear.
While children cry in hunger, .
We celebrate the feast.
Yet sidetracked with display and myth
The basic theme is missed.
“Peace on earth, goodwill to all”
Let’s sing it loud and clear,
Not only as our Christmas call
But all throughout the year.
Secure the children’s future:
An end to war and strife.
Let neither pride nor fear divide
Reach out in love for life
“Peace on earth, goodwill to all”
Let hope and trust increase,
As each successive bar must fall
For “we shall live in Peace”.
