The Silent Night

Godfather.

Suddenly silent into the face of a long journey home
Looking into the eyes of a silent night as he turns to greet his end
All becomes quiet
All but the voice of who has come to take him home.

Thinking back on a life that just started yesterday
Just a boy on his father’s boat he learned to chart the seas
He heard the tales of his elders but he just had to see
What lands existed to the east
What treasures they may bring.

Now the crow flies into the eye of the storm to rest his tired soul
As his pain starts to fade away he can see the elders that he remembers from long ago.

They have come to take him home and take his pain away
For His final journey home.

Have you come to take me away
Have you come to show me the silent night
Have you brought the crow to show me the way
Lord I need to rest my soul.

And he prayed with the voice that has come to take him home
As the crow flew into a silent night he wondered
What new treasures his journey home would bring.


So if I come back again will you wait for me
If Jesus says it’s alright will you wait for me
Because I can’t find my way home without you.

Now the crow flies into the eye of the storm to rest his tired soul
As his pain starts to fade away he can see the elders that he remembers from long ago.


Godfather.
