	O Holy night
	The stars are brightly shining
	It is the night of our dear savior's birth
	Now you all heard the story about
	BethlehemHow the child was born and the three wise men
	Heard the preacher tell it like the preacher does
	But let me tell you, children,
	That's not how it was
	Now you might ask me what
	I'm talking about
	But I know the part that they all left out
	Now do you hear what
	I saidThat
	Herod wanted those wise men dead
	But on that blessed evening
	My great great great great great great granddad
	He saved those kings
	Now granddad made his living
	Playing jazz you see
	But jazz wasn't big around one
	A.D.So he got himself a job in the palace band
	Where he heard about three kings
	In the desert sand
	Let me tell you children that at any time
	Three kings in the desert that's a real rare find
	But Herod heard of it too
	And when he heard his curiosity grew
	So he asked those kings to drop by
	And my great great great great great great
	GranddadHe wondered why
	So the Magi told old
	HerodThat they had come here
	To find a newborn king of kings
	Who'd heal our sins
	Then herod told his guards
	To follow those
	MagiAnd that the only king around here
	Was gonna' be him
	Then he told his soldiers as
	I recallWhen they found that child, to kill them all
	But granddad overheard what
	Herod said
	And he had to act fast or else they'd all be dead
	So granddad got to those kings
	Filled them in on the plan, told them everything
	When they heard what he had in store
	They grabbed the gold
	The frankincense
	The myrrh, the jewels
	The desert tents
	And when they found
	His plan was sound
	They followed granddad out the back door
	And what a night
	It must have been
	But when God is on your side
	You kinda' know that in the end
	You're gonna win
	They traveled fast
	They traveled far
	And in the end they found
	That they were standing with the
	ChildBeneath the star
	Hallelujah
	Hallelujah
	Hallelujah
	Hallelujah
	Hallelujah
	Hallelujah
	And so you see we've reached the end
	Of our story
	When granddad and the kings
	Reached that stable on the hill
	And while
	I said that
	Three kings in the desert is a rare sight
	Angels singing in the desert that's far rarer still
	Now I ain't sayin' that the bible was wrong
	But ya' see the whole tale
	Would have taken too long'
	Cause way back then in the promised land
	Every copy they sold,
	It had to be written by hand
	And granddad lived a long life
	Stayed friends with those kings
	And found a good wife
	And eventually
	I came along
	But that my children
	That my children
	That's another song
	The next letter included a receipt
	For one toy stuffed bear
	Donating it to a small thrift shop
	But somehow it was left there
	For attics have their secrets
	And toys will have theirs, too
	Like who once held or loved them
	When they last were new
	Whether they were made of metal
	Or they were cotton stuffed
	Or how they had been left here
	When they were not enough
	And so it's here that they must wait
	Between reality and dream
	Hoping all will be remembered
	And that all can be redeemed
	Then in the sound of the wind
	Whistling through a door
	She thought she heard the sound of children
	That had held this toy before
	And she then thought to herself
	As she now held it in her hand
	That no one could save all the world
	But we should save who we can
	So she placed it near her candle
	For she had decided in her mind
	That when she left this attic
	He would not be left behind
