Garth Brooks - Belleau Wood lyric
Ringtone: Send Belleau Wood Ringtone to your Cell Phone!
Oh the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night,
For a Christmas truce had been declared
By both sides of the fight.
And as we lay there in our trenches
The silence broke in two,
By a German soldier singing
A song that we all knew.
Though I did not know the language,
The song was 'Silent Night'.
Then I heard my buddy whisper,
All is calm, and all is bright.
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me,
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong
But I stood up in my trench,
And I began to sing along.
Then across the frozen battlefield,
Another's voice joined in,
Until one by one each man became
A singer of the hymn.
Then I thought that I was dreaming
For right there in my sight,
Stood the German soldier
'Neath the fallen flakes of white.
The he raised his hand and smiled at me
As if he seemed to say
Here's hoping we both live
To see us find a better way.
Then the devil's clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again,
And the battlefield where heaven stood
Was blown to hell again.
But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
Its just beyond the fear.
No heaven's not beyond the clouds
Its for us to find here.
