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.
