Once This Year - Beta Radio

Why sing so long all good is gone

Down below my soul is so low

Crowned extolled behold love still grows

Herod this day all young children slain

If only once this year you could part your hands from older fears

When you think of what remains

If only once tonight you would shake your head in real delight

When you think of what remains

Is it strange, is it strange

Is it strange in a world of animals

That the kings are cannibals anyway

Is it strange, is it strange

Is it strange that the earth was split in two

Separating old from new anyway

And here at night I was waiting for

I am waiting for the field to fill with light

Here at night I was waiting for

I am waiting for I am waiting for you

You’re invited to never feel the same

You, you’re invited to hear the new refrain
