[Verse] Snow's whisper falls upon the ground Yet cannons roar the world around Oh rulers dark your hearts of stone You've lost the glory God has shown [Verse 2] Children's carols melt the night While landmines turn day into fright The bells of joy are clanging loud But warring men can't hear our crowd [Chorus] Silent night where have you gone? In this world our peace is torn Silent night how much we dream Of a world that Christ redeems [Verse 3] Gifts are wrapped in shiny bows While bombs burst where God knows Men in suits just fan the flame Turn joy into a cruel game [Bridge] Stars above bear witness true To the madness we imbue Hold on tight to lights that shine Let peace prevail through God's design [Verse 4] Hearths with warmth and laughter dear Masked by cries of terror here This holy time let's cease the fight Turn war to peace this silent night
