The Christmas Truce Lyrics

The snow fell soft on a battlefield grim,

Where silence settled, so cold, so dim.

Men stood frozen in the bitter night,

Their hearts weighed heavy in the fading light.

Then from the trenches, a carol rang,

A soldier's voice, and another sang.

Across the lines, through fear and pain,

A fragile hope began to gain.

Oh, the Christmas truce, a fleeting peace,

A moment where the guns had ceased.

In no man's land, they met that night,

Enemies beneath starlight.

Oh, the Christmas truce, a gift so rare,

A spark of love in winter's air.

They crossed the wire with hands held high,

Beneath a cold December sky.

No flags were raised, no shots were fired,

Just weary souls who all grew tired.

They shared their rations, a smile, a name,

Forgot for a moment why they came.

A ball was kicked, a cheer was heard,

In the quiet night, no angry word.

Oh, the Christmas truce, a fleeting peace,

A moment where the guns had ceased.

In no man's land, they met that night,

Enemies beneath starlight.

Oh, the Christmas truce, a gift so rare,

A spark of love in winter's air.

By morning's light, the war returned,

The lessons of peace still left unlearned.

But in their hearts, they carried on,

The memory of that Christmas song.

For even in the darkest hour,

The light of love retains its power.

Years may pass, and wars may rage,

But the truce remains on history's page.

A testament to what can be,

When we see beyond the enemy.

A simple truth, so bright, so clear—

That peace can bloom, even here.

Oh, the Christmas truce, a fleeting peace,

A moment where the guns had ceased.

In no man's land, they met that night,

Enemies beneath starlight.

Oh, the Christmas truce, a gift so rare,

A spark of love in winter's air.

So light a candle, and let it glow,

For the truce of Christmas, long ago.

A whisper of what could yet be true—

The peace of Christmas belongs to you.
