Eb   Bb       F       C        Eb Bb         F
 Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born

Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn

We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth, no way to escape

 In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace, and no light

But that was the night before Christmas

And the shepherds, wise men come to find them, and bow to a king

 One star above shining on love, so bright it lit up the night before Christmas
