Carol Lights

Words & Music: Geoff Drummond

Geoff's wonderful hopeful Christmas Song written after an Adelaide Carols in The Park Event a few years ago. Children give us all a chance to recapture something of the innocence and hope that we often lose as we grow older. It was a wise person who once said, "We teach children all about life while, if we are watching, they teach us what Life is all about."

Candles burn under Southern Cross

Shadows cast on park land green

Voices stumble verses lost

In half remembered childhood dreams

Faces lined in concentration

Scan the printed program well

Hum a line in anticipation

Join the carol chorus swell

Chorus: Come ye all and join the faithfull

Cast away the years you have worn

Wrap the night around your candle

Leave your sorrow sleep till dawn


Children wander in wide eyed wonder

Pyjama top and Teddy Bear

Coloured lighting Brass Band thunder

Harmonise in Christmas prayer

Glasses kiss the toast is made

Foes forgotten friends made new

Pass the cup and drink the laughter

try to hold it all year through


Chorus: Come ye all and join the faithfull

Cast away the years you have worn

Wrap the night around your candle

Leave your sorrow sleep till dawn


Choir sings an angels message

Peace on earth goodwill to men

If History writes itself in circles

Miracles must come again


Chorus: Come ye all and join the faithfull

Cast away the years you have worn

Wrap the night around your candle

Leave your sorrow sleep till dawn


Wrap the night around your candle

Leave your sorrow sleep till dawn

If History writes itself in circles

Miracles await to be born
