This video of Garth Brooks song is set to a video of soldiers at Christmas all over the world in a lot of different eras. really worth a look. Also, I once read a link where someone (maybe the original writer Joe Henry?) was amazed when on tour in Germany. Some old men would come in for just this one song, then go. When he finally got to talk to one, the guy said their families never believed the story of the Christmas truce, so they came to kind of re-prove it to themselves. If anyone can find that link, let me know! Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence Over Belleau Wood that night For a Christmas truce had been declared By both sides of the fight. As we lay there in our trenches The silence broke in two By a German soldier singing A song that we all knew Though I did not know the language The song was Silent Night. Then I heard my buddy whisper, All is calm, all is bright. Then the fear and doubt surrounded me Cause Id die if I was wrong But I stood up in my trench And I began to sing along. Then across the frozen battlefield Anothers voice joined in Until one by one each man became A singer of the hymn ....
