Out here in the country, there's magic in the air It's the middle of December, there's excitement everywhere Everyone's invited, a celebration's planned The gift is just what's in your heart, and not what's in your hands And who's the one we need to thank, who's the party for? Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy? Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy? The preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy There were times we didn't think we'd make it through the year The baker tried to take our farm, but somehow we're still here I don't know how our crops survived the drought and too much rain It must have been a miracle, how else could you explain? And who's the one we need to thank, who's the party for? Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy? Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy? The preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy The Christ child born in Bethlehem, Joseph and Mary's boy La la la la la la, la la la la la la Everyone's invited, a celebration's planned The guilt is just what's in your hearts and not what's in your hands © transcript Emily Beynon
