Lyrics
Because It’s Christmas (For All the Children) (Excerpt from Händel’s Messiah (‘For Unto Us a Child Is Born…’))
Unto us a Son is given, unto us a Son is given
Unto us a Son is given, unto us a Child is born
Tonight the stars shine for the children
And light the way for dreams to fly
Tonight our love comes wrapped in ribbons
The world is right and hopes are high
And from a dark and frosted window
A child appears to search the sky
Because it’s Christmas, because it’s Christmas
Tonight belongs to all the children, tonight their joy rings through the air
And so we send our tender blessings to all the children everywhere
To see the smiles and hear the laughter, a time to give, a time to share
Because it’s Christmas for now and forever
For all of the children and for the children in us all
Tonight belongs to all the children, tonight their joy rings through the air
And so we send our tender blessings to all the children everywhere
To see the smiles and hear the laughter, a time to give, a time to share
Because it’s Christmas for now and forever
For all of the children and for the children in us all
