Alfie The Christmas Tree

Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree?
Who just didn't want to change the show
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
He liked bicycles and snow

He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears
And critters and creatures that crawled
Why bugs were some of his very best friends
Spiders and ants and all

Now that's not to say that he ever looked down
On a vision of twinkled lights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
And a thousand other delights

And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a story of Christmas day

Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright
He was full of Christmas cheer
All of each and every day
And all throughout the year

To Him it was more than a special time
Much more than a special day
It was more than a beautiful story
It was a special kind of way

You see some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
They've never heard the story of the Son Of God
And that made Alfie pause

Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
Or the brotherhood of man
Or know how to love, or know how to give
If they can't, no one can

You see, life is a very special kind of thing
Not just for a chosen few
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just me and you

So when you're at Christmas prayers this year
Alfie asked me if I'd ask you
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
And those who live there too

Mirror lyrics:

And those who live there too
Say a prayer for the wind and the water and the wood
Alfie asked me if I'd ask you
So when you're at Christmas prayers this year

Not just me and you
But for each and every living, breathing thing
Not just for a chosen few
You see, life is a very special kind of thing

If they can't, no one can
Or know how to love, or know how to give
Or the brotherhood of man
Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth

And that made Alfie pause
They've never heard the story of the Son Of God
And they've never heard of Santa Claus
You see some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring

It was a special kind of way
It was more than a beautiful story
Much more than a special day
To Him it was more than a special time

And all throughout the year
All of each and every day
He was full of Christmas cheer
Oh, Alfie believed in Christmas alright

And a story of Christmas day
Full of toys and presents and wonderful things
And a jolly old man in a sleigh
And he often had dreams of tiny reindeer

And a thousand other delights
Or on mirrored bubbles and peppermint canes
On a vision of twinkled lights
Now that's not to say that he ever looked down

Spiders and ants and all
Why bugs were some of his very best friends
And critters and creatures that crawled
He liked wolves and eagles and grizzly bears

He liked bicycles and snow
He liked living in the woods and playing with squirrels
Who just didn't want to change the show
Did you ever hear the story of the Christmas tree?
