Belleau Wood
Garth Brooks


Oh the snow flakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night 
For a Christmas truce had been declared
By both sides of the fight 
As we laid 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 I die if I was wrong 
But I stood up in my trench 
And I began to sing along 

Then across the frozen battlefield
Another's voice joined in 
Until one by one each man became 
A singer of the hymn 

Then I thought I was dreaming
For right there in my sight 
Stood the german soldier 
Neath the falling flakes of white
And he raised his hand and smiled at me
As if seemed to say 
Here's hoping we both live to see
Us find a better way 

Then the devils clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again 
And the battlefield where heaven stood 
Was blown to hell again 

But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear 
Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
Its just beyond the fear 

No heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's for us to find here
