In the touch of a friend
In the breathe of a child
In the eyes of a soldier coming home
To his mother's grateful smile
In the sight of falling snow
And the memories it brings
In the season when you find some peace
In the simple tender things
Open your heart and look around, listen... Listen

Hear the song within a silence
See the beauty when there's nothing there
Sing a song within a silence
That hope and love are everywhere
And when the quiet night is falling
Watch an angel dancing in the air
To the song, the song within the silence
A december prayer, a december prayer

In the strength of your hand as it holds unto mine
And the promise that we're not alone
In this place and time
In the gifts that you give, I am humbled and amazed
Far beyond this day and time of year
We are in a state of grace
Open your heart and look around, listen... Listen

Hear the song within a silence
See the beauty when there's nothing there
Sing a song within a silence
That hope and love are everywhere
And when the quiet night is falling
Watch an angel dancing in the air
To the song, the song within the silence
A december prayer, a december prayer
Listen... Listen

Hear the song within a silence
See the beauty when there's nothing there
Sing a song within a silence
That hope and love are everywhere
And when the quiet night is falling
Watch an angel dancing in the air
To the song, the song within the silence
A december prayer, a december prayer
