To me this was one of the best Christmas songs written and composed. The Synthesizers are mesmerising and the drum fills really set it off.

Still listening to this in 2023 (it's an awesome song) whenever, it comes on the radio, it just captivates me. And more now, than ever before. It always makes me wonder, (and I firmly believe, not if they exist , but where) what another species, would make, of us, here, on earth. Killing each other.

Love this view of the biblical story, the Angel was a spaceman, the star was a space ship. Great!

[@shiningbrightlight1449]

That's the true story .... Mary was abducted and impregnated by ets, then when he rose up, he rose up in a spaceship but the church doesn't want you to know the truth....

[@butlerpa100]

The truth is hard to understand

[@VictorCharlesEvans]

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar 'Twas light years of time since his mission did start And over a village, he halted his craft And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star He followed a light and came down to a shed Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed A bright light of silver shone round his head And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear I come from a planet a long way from here And I bring a message for mankind to hear And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air And it went la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child La la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, oh This lovely music went trembling through the ground And many were awakened on hearing that sound And travelers on the road The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky Which shone all around And just before dawn at the paling of the sky The stranger returned and said, now I must fly When two thousand years of your time has gone by This song will begin once again to a baby's cry And it went la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la This song will begin once again to a baby's cry And it goes la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la la la la la la la la la) There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la la la la la la la la la) And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here (la la la la la la la la la) This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
