An Angel Returned Lyrics

An Angel Returned lyrics

An angel returned



That night through the sky



But time it was short



He had to decide 







And so as he flew



Back over the land



A gift for his Lord



Was there in his hand 







It was the glow of a light



It was the heart of a song



It was the tear of a child



Where they never belonged



It was the wish of a soul



On an old neon light



And the Lord smiled at him



On that cold winter night 







Hear as they ring through the night



Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Here the bells ring through the night







Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Hear as they ring through the night







Listen to the bells as they ring



Listen to the message they bring



Listen to the sound



As they sing as one voice in the night 







Hoping that we'll all understand



Every dream we have's in our hands



And for every bell



May they ring all through the night







Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Hear as they ring through the night 







Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Kyrie among nations



Here as they ring through the night 







Listen to the bells as they ring



Listen to the message they bring



Listen to the sound as they sing



As one voice in the night 







Hoping that we'll all understand



Every dream we have's in our hands



And for every bell



May they ring all through your life







And so with his story over



And our bottle nearly through



I asked, did this really happen?



He swore every word was true 







Then he said I see you're puzzled



For your mind tells you to doubt me



That my story can't be true



But your heart tells you, it might be 







He then asked, did it entertain me 



And I admitted it had charm



Then he said perhaps you have learned something



Or at worst I've done no harm 







Then he rose up from his chair



And he said it's time that he should leave



But may God keep and protect you



This and every Christmas Eve 







Then he left through the front door



And I ran out to ask him back



But he was already gone



And stranger still he left no tracks







So I walked back to my home



Recalling all I've heard and seen



And for the first time since my childhood



That night I dreamed a Christmas dream







Merry Christmas!
