Collin Raye - It Could Happen Again Lyrics
(narration: one frozen night in 1914, at the height of world war i, theUnthinkable happened: all along the entire western front, the british andGerman soldiers lay down their weapons, an unofficial cease fire, toCelebrate christmas eve together. they exchanged gifts, and saw each otherAs brothers, and that peace lasted for two more days, when they were orderedBack to battle. in those few days, though, men remembered the reason forChristmas amongst the devastation, and its a story that should never beForgotten.)Through the smoke filled night silence rose from both sidesAcross a bloody battlefieldIt was a cold christmas eve in 1914To those who were there, it seemed unrealAs time was still the spirit moved the soldiersTo lay down their arms and raise their voice in songAnd pretend for a while the war was overIf it could happened then, it could happen againA world torn apart could join hands and heartsTo celebrate his birth and peace on this earthIf for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fightMaybe theres a chance; this time it might last.As opposing sides approached through broken words they spokeIt wasnt long before they felt at easeThey shared their cigarettes, what they had they used as giftsThey didnt feel like enemiesWith candles lit they stood shoulder to shoulderAnd on that field they found true common groundAnd as they prayed they dreamed the war was overIf it could happened then, it could happen againA world torn apart could join hands and heartsTo celebrate his birth and peace on this earthIf for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fightMaybe theres a chance; this time it might last.If it could happened then, it could happen again.
