Bethlehem Green – where the world seems
To shrink and retreat from your head
And your path can be seen
Shining bright through the haze of confusion ahead
And you lay down your load
Nowhere you'd rather be
For a day – in the glow
Of the fireplace breathing the air
Spiced with cinnamon
Sweet tangerine
On Bethlehem Green
There's a moment of peace – there's a moment
Of splendour where care gently sleeps
There's a moment's relief
Bethlehem Green is your haven
Your refuge, your keep
And you cast off your fears
Whatsoever they be,
For a day: be of good cheer
And join in the happy scene
Old feuds forgotten,
And love evergreen
On Bethlehem Green
Bethlehem Green – no angels here
And the shepherds and wise men have fled
But you take my hand
And the warmth of your smile
Breathes a love song unsaid
And we're perfectly flawed
As life's tapestry
Joins us to all that has ever been,
All that may be,
While the fireside beckons
All cinnamon, tangerine
– On Bethlehem Green
